🚨 Know What Those Outdoor Warning Sirens REALLY Mean!

Those loud sirens you hear during storms? They can save lives… but only if you understand them correctly.

Here are the critical reminders from the National Weather Service:

✅ Sirens are for OUTDOOR warning purposes only — they are NOT designed to be HEARD clearly INDOORS.

✅ Hearing a siren means: Get inside immediately and check your phone alerts, NOAA Weather Radio, or local news for details.

✅ When the sirens stop sounding, it does NOT mean the threat has ended — stay sheltered until you get the official all-clear.

✅ Sirens are activated by your local city or county officials — NOT the National Weather Service.

Stay Weather Ready, Ford County 💪
