🌩️ Storm Season Is Coming – Be Prepared! 🌩️

Please see this important message from our friends at Morgan County EMA - Indiana

🚨 Sirens are for OUTDOORS only. They warn people outside to take shelter—don’t rely on them indoors.

✅ Have multiple ways to get alerts inside:
• Phone emergency alerts
• NOAA Weather Radio
• TV/radio & weather apps
• Text MorganCoAlert to 58339

⏰ Storms develop quickly—prepare now!
✔️ Outside = Sirens

🌩️ Storm Season Is Approaching - Let’s Talk Alerting Methods🌩️

As we head into late winter and early spring, severe weather becomes more common. Now is the time to make sure you know how warnings are issued in our community.

🚨 Outdoor warning sirens are meant to be heard OUTSIDE.
They alert people who are outdoors that a tornado or dangerous storm is approaching and that they need to go inside immediately and seek shelter.

🔊 Sirens are not designed to wake you up or alert you indoors. While you may sometimes hear them inside, you should never rely on sirens as your primary indoor warning system—especially at night or during heavy rain.

✅ Have multiple ways to receive alerts indoors
• Enable Wireless Emergency Alerts on your cell phone
• Use a NOAA Weather Radio
• Watch or listen to local TV and radio
• Turn on push alerts from trusted weather apps
•Sign up for text alerts from Morgan County EMA by texting MorganCoAlert to 58339
• Follow Morgan County EMA and news outlets on social media

⏰ Storms can develop quickly. Preparing now—before storm season ramps up can save valuable time later.

✔️ Outside = Sirens
✔️ Inside = Alerts

Comment below the ways you receive alerts for a chance to win a weather radio!
