Emergency/Severe
[back to top]
Presently, two emergency sirens are maintained by the City for use in notifying our citizens in the event of a confirmed tornado. The sirens are located at 3918 Denver Street and 2100 37th Street. These sirens are tested each spring. Prior to these tests, a notice will be placed in the Greeley Tribune. Citizens are advised to be prepared and know what to do in case of an emergency. It is wise to keep a three day supply of food and water on hand. It would also be wise to keep extra personal hygiene and prescription supplies on hand. It is also recommended that every household develop and practice an exit from the home drill. Participants should know several ways out of their residence, and should report to a prearranged family gathering location. Persons wishing assistance with developing their plan may call the fire department for assistance at 475-1117.
Fire Hydrant Clearance
