RICHARD C DE YOUNG April 27, 1982 District All siren installations are completed.

We planned to have the system operational by Monday, April 26, 1982.

Fi rst, the sirens in Sacramento County would be placed in a " Ready-For-Activation" mode,, followed by those in Amador and San Joaquin Counties. On Friday, April 23rd at 8:00 a.m., we began placing the sirens in Sacramento County in the

" Ready-For-Activation" mode. At approximately 3:15 p.m. on the 23rd we received reports of a false siren operation. The siren was deactivated. At 5:00 p.m. on the same day we received reports of another false operation. We decided to deactivate all the sirens. The siren manufacturer, ACA, has been contacted to solve and correct the problem. The District will keep you in-formed as further information develops.
