Outdoor Warning System
All residents and businesses are also alerted to weather emergencies via the Outdoor Warning System. The siren system has both voice and sound (siren, horns). There are 2 types of weather alerts:
  • Tornado Alert (MP3): The tornado alert includes a voice message, followed by a 3-minute siren, and ends with a repeat of the voice message.
  • Severe Weather Alert (MP3): The severe weather alert includes a voice message, followed by a 30 second discontinuous horn, and ends with a repeat of the voice message.

The Outdoor Warning System is not designed to be heard indoors. When the outdoor warning system is activated, citizens should not go outside to hear the message or call 911 to ask why the system is activated. Citizens should go inside, seek shelter in an interior room of their home and tune to a weather radio or TV/radio for more information.
