Emergency Notification

In weather emergencies, advance warning can save lives.   It is important to have multiple means of receiving alerts and to know what actions to take when warnings are issued.

NOAA All-Hazard Radio.  A NOAA Radio broadcasts National Weather Service alerts and warnings and is one of the most reliable notification methods.  The radios can be programmed for specific geographic areas and community hazards.   

Outdoor Warning Sirens. Clermont County outdoor warning sirens are activated when a Tornado Warning is issued by the National Weather Service or a tornado or funnel cloud is reported by a public safety official or trained weather spotter. When the sirens sound, take shelter indoors, tune into a NOAA weather radio, local radio/television station, or reputable internet site to find out what is happening, and take the appropriate action.

Personal Weather Notifications. Set up personal weather notifications via electronic alerting services (apps, e-mail, RSS feeds, or text). Free services are available through FEMA, American Red Cross, and local media outlets.

Be weather aware. Tune into local radio or television outlet for critical details and follow-up information.
