The Sac and Fox Nation tribal leaders have authorized the purchase and installation of an indoor and outdoor Mass Notification and Warning System for the Tribal Capital Grounds.
There are two phases to the installation process.
This new system will replace the single outdoor pole siren located at the RV Park. The Sac and Fox Police Department is in charge of activation and maintenance of the new system.
Phase one, the installation of the outdoor warning system, was completed March 6, 2020. The existing RV Park siren was relocated to the Veterans
The existing RV Park siren was relocated to the Veterans Lake area. This siren was converted from electric-power to solar power.
New poles with sirens were installed at the RV Park and the Justice Center.
The new outdoor sirens are solar powered with battery power lasting up to 30 minutes of continuous service if needed.
The new sirens have audible, visual and voice capabilities. The system will provide a variety of notifications, warnings and alerts for staff and visitors who are outdoors.
Work continues on phase two of the project.
This involves the installation of indoor notification equipment to be located inside the common areas of tribal buildings.
These will serve persons indoors and will have the same notification capabilities to our staff and visitors.
This is a public safety project of the Tribal Transportation Program.
