CASS COUNTY At 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, April 28, during North Dakota Severe Weather Awareness Week, there will be a full-system test of the outdoor siren warning system in Cass County.
What to do when you hear the sirens (when a test is not scheduled):
Seek shelter indoors and turn on local media (local broadcast channels, radio); hearing a siren does not mean you should evacuate. Follow directions from local officials including information provided by the National Weather Service.
Do not assume there is no emergency because skies are clear; there may be a non-weather-related emergency.

FARGO (KVRR) – Cass Fargo Emergency Management has apologized for mistakenly sending a mass notification at around midnight Wednesday.
Officials say the message was sent to 55,766 contacts and was delivered to 7,655 contacts before employees realized the error.
“At 11:54 p.m., an employee inadvertently sent the monthly test to residents rather than in the test environment. Cass Fargo Emergency Management apologizes for this error and is evaluating processes to ensure this does not reoccur.”
The monthly test is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Area residents can subscribe to the alerts to receive information during both emergency and non-emergency situations.
