Be a Hero to Your Loved Ones
With a little planning, you can be prepared during the next big emergency.
Get ready for an upgrade and shorter duration for the Piru Dam Siren. Friday, August 1, 2025, United Water Conservation District will debut the new modern dam failure siren at its monthly test. The new sound is shorter and sharper and will sound for only five minutes, compared to the 15 minutes of air raid siren from the post-war era.
