Mobile County, AL considers localized activation of tornado sirens for improved emergency response

Mobile County, AL Localized Tornado Sirens

Planification

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.

You should not put all your trust in getting severe weather alerts from a tornado siren. "That siren on a good day, you should be able to hear it within a mile radius of the siren," says Mobile County Emergency Management Agency's Deputy Director Mike Evans. Right now, when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service anywhere in Mobile county, all 45 sirens across the county go off.
