The city of Viborg is currently experiencing problems with the siren warning system on the west side of town. While the siren on the east side remains functional , parts have been ordered for the west side and the system is expected to be back in operation within a few days.

Because the area is in an active weather pattern, residents are encouraged to stay weather aware. Staying weather aware means actively monitoring local forecasts and utilizing multiple, reliable methods to receive life-saving alerts before hazardous conditions occur.
