What To Do When Sirens Sound

When sirens sound, imminent severe weather is upon our communities. Our outside warning system is primarily utilized to warn persons outdoors of impending severe weather.

Sirens will sound for 3-5 minutes with a “rise and fall” tone to alert you to take shelter immediately. If, in fact, you hear the warning sirens, the severe tornadic weather is nearly upon our area.

Take cover in a basement, the lowest level of your home or business in a small enclosed space such as a bathroom or closet, or perhaps under a sturdy piece of furniture.

If possible, cover yourself with some type of protection, such as a mattress, or a heavy quilt or blanket to lessen the impact of debris striking you.

Ensure that you have a flashlight with extra batteries as the power may be interrupted.

Tune to local radio and TV for further information. Your best source of information is to maintain a weather radio in your home or business.

Sirens DO NOT sound an “ALL CLEAR” tone. Severe weather usually comes in waves.
