Emergency Management
Preparedness is one of the four phases of Emergency Management and preparedness is the one that every citizen can actively participate in to be ready to deal with a variety of emergencies and/or disasters. The other three phases are:
- Reponses
- Recovery
- Mitigation
- FEMA
- Homeland Security and Emergency Management
- Citizen Corps
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- National Homeland Security Knowledgebase
Sirens in North Mankato have been strategically located so as to provide as much overlap in sound coverage as possible. Sirens, however, are primarily designed for outdoor notification. Therefore, Emergency Management highly recommends that all persons purchase additional notification devices such as weather radios, severe weather pagers, scanners, portable radios, etc.
North Mankato sirens have three sound functions which are:
- Steady Tone = Severe Weather
- Wail = Nuclear Attack
- Voice = Information and/or Instructions
