Twinsburg's Tornado/Severe Weather Siren Information
The six severe weather warning sirens strategically placed in the City of Twinsburg are to alert anyone that is outside that severe weather is approaching our area and to take shelter immediately. Once obtaining shelter individuals should tune in to their local weather, either via TV or the radio for further information. There is a misconception that the sirens are only sounded to alert for an approaching Tornado and that the sound can be heard inside of a structure or vehicle. The sirens are alerted whenever the Police Dispatcher is notified of a need by a couple of ways. One way is via Teletype from the National Weather Service office, a police officer on patrol that sees or hears of conditions necessitating this warning or a neighboring community to the North, South or West of Twinsburg has used their alerting system for approaching severe weather, typically non snow events. Some folks may hear the sirens once activated while inside of a structure, however that is not typical nor designed. Often those hearing a siren inside are fairly close to a siren. There is another misconception that the sirens can be turned up in volume. Again that is incorrect as the audio level is at the highest decibel level allowed by Federal Law. The final misconception is that if the sirens are heard to be alerted a second time that is is an "all clear". There is no "all clear" notification. Each time the sirens are sounded, indicates another warning has been received by the Dispatch Center.
