Outside Siren Information

When activated, these sirens – 22 throughout the city– are intended to serve as an alert to people who are outside that they immediately should take cover.   The sirens may be activated for various reasons, including tornado warnings, other severe weather, hazardous materials spills or a major national security incident.  In the event that the sirens are activated for an emergency, they will sound for three minutes with steady wailing, TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY!!
 
Tune your battery-operated radio to WAAM 1600 AM, WEMU 89.1 FM, or WQKL 107.1 FM for more information.  If you still have access to the television and you are a subscriber to the local cable company, tune to channel 16 for updates on the current emergency situation.  There is no "all clear" alert from the sirens.  An "all clear" notification will be broadcast on the radio. 
 
During siren activation, unless you need the police, fire or paramedics, do not call emergency phones.  Police and 911 telephone lines should be kept clear for people who really need police, fire or medical help fast.
