County of siren: Cooper County
Location of siren: Elm St. & Morgan St., SW corner, Bunceton
This siren was installed after 2017, and this town had no siren before then. This text of a Cooper County Hazard Mitigation Committee gives details:
"The importance of Hazard Mitigation Plan five year updates has taken on a whole new meaning for communities within Cooper County in 2017. The last hazard mitigation plan for Cooper County was finalized in 2012. In the process of evaluating past risk assessments and developing new mitigation strategies for this year’s update, the city of Bunceton, MO attracted attention on the warning siren map.
"As shown on the inserted map, the City of Bunceton hasn’t had a working warning siren for its 354 citizens within the community in 5 years. It was learned in the recent updating process that the warning siren had caught fire when test activated. For safety reasons the warning siren was dismantled and has been deemed as inoperable ever since. It was cost prohibitive for the City of Bunceton to acquire a new warning siren at that time." ~ Mid-MO Regional Planning Commission
