WHAT DO I DO IF THE SIRENS ARE ACTIVATED?

In the event that the Warning Sirens are activated, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY, then listen to the radio or TV to get details on the changing weather conditions. In the event of an actual warning the sirens will be sounded for a minimum of three minutes. The warning sirens may be sounded several times if the threat is continuing. This increases the chances that people will hear it, even indoors.

WHO CAN HEAR THE SIRENS?

The City operates Sirens designed to give warning to persons outside. This is because people outdoors may not have the same access to warning and information that those inside do. People who are outside need time to reach shelter.
