Outdoor Warning Sirens From Mike Keltner, Director Adair Co. Emergency Management In reply to a question about warning sirens. Outdoor warning sirens are meant to notify persons that are outside. They are meant to give attention to someone to seek more information or shelter if during a severe weather outbreak. They are useful in certain situations and Adair County has them in place in areas like the schools, outdoor sporting areas, the college, and a couple smaller communities with Amish populations without phones, radios or electricity. Outdoor Warnings Sirens are notorious for not being heard during a severe weather event inside a residence and it would take nearly 100 to adequately cover Adair County. Not to mention the problems that can arise with them and relying on a single source of warning is not recommended. The Adair Fiscal Court provides CodeRED alerts and weather warnings which will call text and email you when your specific address is within a warned area. It is also as available on an app. This is a great method and you can sign up here. https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/en-US/3F3DD4D1749D In addition to CodeRED and outdoor sirens, local radio (if being listened to) along with the NOAA weather radios which can be purchased and set to alarm when the signal is sent from the national weather service are better methods to receive alerts. Weather radios run around $35 and are available online and sometimes found at Wal-Mart in Columbia. I hope I was able to help explain the limitations to sirens and the other options including the ones provided by the Fiscal Court well. Be safe. This story was posted on 2023-04-01 08:49:55
