It’s that time of year again! Please have multiple means of being notified of inclement weather!
🚨 Fact Check Friday: Outdoor Warning Sirens
Myth: You should be able to hear outdoor warning sirens inside your home.
Fact: Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people who are outdoors to seek shelter. They are not intended to be heard clearly indoors, especially with doors and windows closed or while you’re sleeping.
🔔 Stay informed the right way:
Enable Wireless Emergency Alerts on your phone!
Have a NOAA Weather Radio!
Follow trusted local sources like Wayne County EMA
Bottom line: If you hear a siren, go inside and get more information right away. Don’t rely on sirens as your only warning method!
