The City of <br />Hugo was awarded this grant <br />over many other applications <br />nationwide that were considered <br />by FEMA and HSEM. The <br />installation of tornado sirens <br />throughout the city will be a <br />great benefit to the citizens of <br />Hugo, many of which were im- <br />pacted by the F3 tornado that <br />devastated portions of the City <br />in 2008. <br />City Staff worked carefully to <br />identify locations for the new <br />sirens where they could be heard <br />by nearly all of Hugo's resi- <br />dents. The City currently has 5 <br />tornado warning sirens. The <br />existing siren located at City <br />Hall will be removed. An exist- <br />ing siren will be relocated for <br />better coverage. Residents who <br />were most directly impacted by <br />the new site locations were noti- <br />fied in August 2011. Staff an- <br />ticipates that the project will be <br />completed in September 2011. <br />For more information please <br />contact Dennis Fields at 651- <br />762-6311. <br />rides will start and. <br />Tour <br />finish at the Hanifl de <br />Oft <br />Fields Athletic <br />Park (7032 137th <br />St. N.)
