Every year we get a multitude of calls telling us that the sirens can’t be heard while in the house. This is because they are not made to be heard inside your home. We all need to be prepared for severe weather at any time of the day or night and at any time of year. The National Weather Service, Emergency Management, Law Enforcement, the 9-1-1 Center, and the Fire Department cannot notify every individual of the possibility of severe weather in their town. Do not wait for the sirens to be your warning system at home, sirens may not be working if the power is out and oftentimes cannot be heard indoors. Sirens may not be activated for other severe threats such as damaging straight line winds in excess of 60 mph, large hail and flooding. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio and local media and then take the appropriate action for the severe weather threat. If it appears that a severe thunderstorm is approaching your location, do not wait for the outdoor sirens, and take immediate action to protect your life and the lives of others in your home.
Take responsibility…listen to the media... take protective action... survive to enjoy the warm sunny days that also come this time of year.
