IRON MOUNTAIN – We Energies will test emergency sirens at its hydroelectric power plants on Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Four of the company’s dams have flood emergency warning systems that require annual testing to ensure the sirens operate properly. Residents near Michigamme Falls, Twin Falls, Big Quinnesec and White Rapids dams may hear the sirens for approximately one minute.

This is only a test and does not require evacuation.

In an actual emergency, sirens would sound continuously, and residents would be told to evacuate the area, move to higher ground and listen to the radio for instructions from emergency officials. Customers with questions can contact Pat Peterson in Hydro Operations at 906-284-1602.
