When the Sirens Sound

Every Community is required to plan for emergencies.  This planning is normally documented in an Emergency Action Plan, which will detail how the community will notify residents in the event of a serious emergency.  In many cases communities use sirens for this purpose.  Some sophisticated alarm systems have distinctive sounds for each type of emergency, while others use the same alarm for all emergencies.  You should ask your Community Leaders how they will notify you in the event of an emergency.  If a siren is used, you should also ask for a description of the various sounds and what each of them indicates.

People that live near nuclear or large industrial facilities may have other notification systems of which they should be aware.  Your community may have this information.  If not, you should contact the facility directly.  Most of these facilities will be happy to answer your questions.  Make sure you ask how to interpret the various sounds that the siren makes and when they are tested.

All sirens are tested at regular frequencies.  Many communities test their fire alarm at the same time every night.  You should listen to this test so that you become familiar with its sound.

If the siren does sound, seek shelter inside, preferably in a room without windows.  Turn your radio to 1270 AM and listen for emergency information.   You should also be prepared to evacuate.  Gather your essential supplies and store them nearby.

Do not use the telephone unless there is an emergency.  Never phone 911 unless there is a serious emergency or you require emergency assistance.

If you are instructed to evacuate, take only your essential supplies and monitor the radio for emergency and evacuation information.  Emergency personnel will be available to safely direct you away from the area.  Pay close attention to their directions and do not take any shortcuts.  You may jeopardize your safety!
