Siren Sounds Information

The Town’s Tornado Detection Warning System, which is auditory, consists of 4 Tornado Warning Alarm Sirens that produce one long continuous blast. The Town maintains this equipment, but it is tested every Saturday at noon by Lake County.

The Town’s Lightning Detection Warning System, which is visual and auditory, produces one long 30-second blast when it detects lightning and three short blasts when all is clear. The strobe light flashes continuously until all is clear. There are 16 current locations for these alarms, as well as a forthcoming location in Sunnyside Park that will be installed within the next 2 weeks. Information signs, describing the sounds and what to do, exist at each location. Parks should be evacuated when lightning is detected until all is clear.
