National Weather Service Reminds Public About Tornado Siren Limitations

The National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi, issued a reminder that tornado sirens are intended for outdoor use only. They are not meant to be heard indoors, and residents should not rely solely on them for tornado warnings, according to a social media post.

Officials urge residents to use multiple sources for weather alerts, including weather radios, mobile alerts, and local news. The post emphasized that sirens are primarily meant to alert people outside to seek shelter.

The reminder comes amid ongoing concerns about public awareness and safety during severe weather events. Authorities recommend having a comprehensive plan to receive and respond to warnings beyond outdoor sirens.
