Community Outdoor Warning System
Once a Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado warning has been issued, or a chemical release or spill has happened, a steady tone will sound for 3 minutes followed by a 5 minute pause.
This pattern will be repeated 3 times, and there will not be an all clear signal.
If you hear these alert signals you should take shelter in the interior of a strong structure away from windows. If possible you should tune to a local radio or television station for important information.
