Beltrami County Emergency Management will resume outdoor warning siren testing across Beltrami County in April. Outdoor warning sirens are tested at 1pm the first Wednesday of each month from April through October.
Outdoor warning sirens are intended to provide persons outdoors warning where they may be away from commercial radio or television to seek additional information on hazards that may be a threat to public safety. Sirens will sound for approximately four minutes before timing out.
Sirens will also be used during Severe Weather Awareness Week, being held the third week of April, additional information on Severe Weather Awareness Week will be provided in the coming weeks.
Spring Forest Access Roads and Trails
Bemidji, MN, April 2, 2013 Due to spring ground conditions; we urge the public to be careful using forest access roads and trails during this time of year. While under the spring thaw, ground conditions are such that severe damage to roads and trails can occur from improper use. Please respect any closure signs, barricades, gates or poor trail conditions and refrain from using these areas at this time. Funding to build and maintain these areas is provided by public land managers, loggers, and user groups. Please use common sense and do not damage our local forest roads and trails.
