Original Note:
CEMA staff, including Russell, were at a workshop during the storm. Russell called St. Louis Fire Department to activate the sirens, but the directive drafted in 2021 was "ambiguous", leading to delay. The mayor amended this, naming Fire Dept Dispatch Centers explicitly. https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/mayor/news/mayor-cara-spencer-places-cema-commissioner-on-leave-releases-documents-and-audio-regarding-siren-failure.cfm
