Village of Shreve – Mayor’s Office
Following the recent failure of the Village’s outdoor warning system during the scheduled tornado siren test, B & C Communications is now on-site and has completed an initial diagnosis.
The issue has been identified as a failure within the siren system’s control board. The board will need to be removed and sent back to the manufacturer for further diagnostics and repair.
An inquiry was made regarding the possibility of ordering a replacement control board; however, B & C Communications has advised that repairing the existing unit is the fastest and most efficient path to restoring full functionality. B & C Communications will be utilizing expedited shipping to ensure the manufacturer receives the component as quickly as possible.
At this time, B & C Communications anticipates that the repair process may take up to two weeks.
During this period, residents are strongly encouraged to rely on alternative alert systems to stay informed during severe weather, including smartphones, computers, television broadcasts, and NOAA weather radios.
The safety of our residents remains our highest priority, and my administration will continue working diligently to restore the system and provide updates as they become available.
