Mobile County, AL considers localized activation of tornado sirens for improved emergency response
The county's Emergency Management Agency (EMA) proposes adapting sirens to sound in affected areas. The current EMA protocol activates the 45 installed sirens simultaneously no matter where the emergency occurs in the county. Localized activation prevents sirens from becoming background noise due to frequent tests and broad use. EMA would combine this upgrade with mobile alerts for improved reach during emergencies.
