Volkswagen is planning a test of its new emergency siren system at the Enterprise South construction site.  Residents in the Bonny Oaks, Ooltewah, and Highway 58 areas should take note that this is only a test. 

The following outlines the date, time, and testing content:

Date: May 31, 2009
Time: 10:00AM
Duration:10-min test

Test Content: 

1-continuous 15-sec blast = building evacuation

3-short blasts (pause) 3-short blasts = site evacuation

5-short blasts (pause) 5-short blasts = weather emergency


New Sirens

It's been proven that a series of blasts like this is old and archaic. The general public and even employees will not retain this information after a couple weeks. A voice siren system is what they need for an industrial warning system. Apparenly Volkswagen doesn't care about it's employees or the people around the plant. Can't believe someone would still use this as an alerting measure after it's been proven time and time again not to work.
