City of Merriam, KS - Government This is the official page for the City of Merriam, Kansas. Kansas City's next-door neighbor.

Merriam is located in Northeast Johnson County, Kansas, eight miles south of downtown Kansas City. Our central location along Interstate 35 and relatively small size make Merriam an accessible and convenient place for travelers and residents. A strong sense of community and an active business climate give Merriam all of the advantages of being in the metropolitan area while retaining the charm of a small town.

Heads up ⬇️

You might hear some sirens today.

βš½πŸ“’ It's Siren Test Day, Johnson County, KS!

Our monthly Outdoor Warning Siren Test will take place today at 11:00 AM. If you're outside, take a moment to listen and let us know if you hear the sirens in your area!

🌎 With the FIFA World Cup excitement arriving and international teams and fans visiting our community, we're making a few adjustments. To help avoid confusion for our guests, there will be NO monthly siren test in July. Monthly testing will resume in August.

Remember: Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people who are outdoors to seek additional informationβ€”they are not intended to be heard indoors.
