VIDEO: Bryan County is set to install warning sirens in North and South Bryan County, after an EF-4 tornado devastated the area of Pembroke in April of 2022 costing nearly $17,000,000 in damage and killing one woman.
WTOC spoke with leaders in the area for some insight.
Bryan County Commissioners approved 15 emergency warning sirens this month, after they received a grant they applied for last April. Bryan County will provide nearly $130,000 of the total project cost, which sits at just over $517,000 all together.
In South Bryan County, the sirens will be located on Timber Trail at the recreation park; at Richmond Hill Middle School and at Bryan County’s Fire station No. 1 near the South Bryan Administration complex and Henderson Park. There will be 12 located in North Bryan County.
