Emergency Management

•  Purchase and use a weather alert radio during severe weather seasons 
• Have a family communication plan in place; all members of the family should review and practice the plan
• Have an emergency kit in your car and at least three days of food and water at home
• Be sure to store all important documents – birth certificates, insurance policies, etc. – in a fire-proof safe or safety deposit box
• Know how to shut off utilities
•  Keep an eye to the sky during severe weather and listen to local radio and TV stations

Storm sirens are located near: 

• White River Plaza on North City limits
• Downtown
• Skyline Drive 
• Shoals Bend subdivision 
• Shadowrock Park 

Sirens are tested on the second Wednesday of each month at 10 am unless there is active weather in the area.  Sirens are activated during National Weather Service Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm Warnings or other civil emergencies.

When activated, people who are outdoors should seek shelter indoors immediately and use a weather radio, local media, or smart phone apps to monitor the situation.
