In 1980, the city of Des Moines installed a system of 26 ACA Cyclone 125s. There weren't too many installations of sirens until an F1 tornado (real) touched down in 2000. The county decided to call up Iowa Outdoor Warning Solutions to install sirens. Federal Signal won a bid to install 35 2001-SRNs throughout the county. They also changed any other existing sirens to be part of the county system. Later, in 2015, Emergency Management got a funding boost, so they spent money on adding an additional 26 sirens, also from Iowa Outdoor Warning Solutions, but this time American Signal won the bid. The sirens are tested on the first Saturday of the month at noon in Alert, with no voice no matter the siren (except Ankeny sirens). They go off for tornado warnings in Attack or Wail (Whelens).
Look at the info points and siren descriptions for more information!
