Why can't I hear the warning siren inside my house?

The warning sirens are designed to be "outdoor" warning sirens only. They are for people who may be outside away from other sources of information. All citizens should have an NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio. When the weather is threatening, you should rely on the All-Hazards radio, and broadcast media for the most reliable information. If the forecasters say to take cover, please do so immediately. Do not wait to hear the warning siren. For more information on the system capabilities and limitations, please see our Outdoor Warning System page.
