Overview
The Village of Lake Delton owns a sophisticated outdoor warning system, i.e. tornado sirens. Sirens are outdoor warning systems designed only to alert those who are outside that something dangerous is approaching.
Activation
The outdoor sirens are activated by the Sauk County Communications Center when a Tornado Warning has been issued that involves the Village of Lake Delton or the surrounding area; the secondary activation site is the Lake Delton Fire/EMS Facility/EOC. The siren is a steady wail sound that lasts for approximately three minutes.
Testing
The sirens are tested monthly on the first Wednesday at noon.
