Get a Weather Alert Radio

Our local tornado sirens are designed to alert you to emergency situations when you are outside. But what about when you are inside your snug, airtight house, or if a siren fails to sound?

Chief John Eisel urges all citizens to have at least one Weather Alert radio inside their homes and businesses so they can be immediately alerted to weather emergencies. These radios are available for purchase at our Refugee Road location and at most major electronics retailers.

Tornado Watch & Warning –Do You Know the Difference?

Watch: A Tornado Watch is issued to alert people to the possibility of tornado development in your area.

Warning: A Tornado Warning is issued when a tornado has actually been sighted or is indicated by radar.
