You may hear sirens when severe weather is coming, but outdoor sirens should never be your only source of weather alerts!

Warning sirens are for outdoor warning purposes, and are not meant to be heard indoors or to wake you up at night!

Outdoor sirens are activated by local city or county officials, NOT the National Weather Service!

When outdoor sirens stop, it does not mean the severe weather threat is over! Always check official sources to know when the severe weather threat is over.
