City of Antigo aldermen are tilting toward a new 24-hour warning system to replace the city’s silenced weather sirens.
At a meeting of the Finance, Personnel & Legislative Committee Wednesday, Emergency Government Director Brad Henricks reviewed a program known as Nixle 360, which distributes emergency weather and other alerts directly to both cellular telephones and land lines, theoretically reaching every home and business in the community.
A joint city-county system would cost about $5,000—or $2,500 each—annually, Henricks indicated.
