Sirens are an outdoor warning system designed only to alert those who are outside that something dangerous is approaching.
For alerts indoors, every home and business should have a NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards. NOAA Weather Radio is like a smoke detector for severe weather, and it can wake you up when a warning is issued for your area so you can take appropriate action.
Sirens are tested monthly on the 3rd Monday of every month at 10:00 am.
Herculaneum has an Early Warning Storm System. The system has two recorded voice messages and warnings.
