Weather sirens and what they mean
 

When severe weather threatens, it is important to understand the difference between a WATCH and a WARNING. When a WATCH is issued, the public should monitor NOAA Weather Radio and stay tuned to local media sources for additional information. The National Weather Service issues a WARNING when severe weather is imminent or already occurring in the warning area. 

 

If a Tornado Warning is issued you should immediately seek appropriate shelter. Go to the lowest level of the structure and put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Stay away from windows and doors. Remember mobile homes and vehicles offer no protection so make sure you go into a nearby sturdy structure in advance of the storm.

 

In Boone County the outdoor warning sirens are activated for Tornado Warnings. The sirens are sounded to alert persons involved in outdoor activities that severe weather is approaching. When the sirens sound you should take cover, tune in to NOAA weather radio or local media for additional information and take action to protect yourself. Remember that the outdoor warning sirens are not intended to be heard inside of homes or buildings. Everyone should have a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and battery backup to receive severe weather alerts when indoors.
