Rural Cass County communities desiring to connect to this radio controlled system must coordinate the connection with the siren installer and the RRDC. The system controller must be programmed to accept the new siren. Communities are responsible for any fees associated with the connection to the RRDC. Communities connecting their siren system must also coordinate an activation protocol for their city with the RRDC for testing and actual events.
