EMERGENCY SIREN:
The Blackhawk County Emergency Management Agency will conduct
a test of the outdoor early warning siren system on Wednesday,
Sept. 1 at 11 a.m. One sound is used for the test - a steady
wail lasting for three minutes. If severe weather conditions are
present, the test will be canceled to avoid confusion in the event
there may be a need for an actual warning.
