Sirens are designed as a means of warning the population outdoors. They are not designed to be heard inside your home or business.
When stormy weather is prevalent you are responsible for your own protection by staying information either through television, your local radio station or weather alert radio.
The Washington County Communication Center relies on the volunteer spotters and citizens to report weather events. The communication center does not have any special equipment that gives advance warnings other than the teletype, television, internet and radio reports.
