Sedgwick County Emergency Management will test the attack function of their outdoor warning system on Monday, May 23. The system has both an alert function for severe weather, which is a steady tone, and an attack function, which is a rise and fall sound. Sedgwick County say that the attack function will be used for “enemy attack, air raids or other threats of that nature.” It is important to remember that the sirens are not meant to be heard indoors. They are meant for people who are outside and do not have any other means of receiving an alert.
