Warning Siren First Responder

Outdoor warning sirens are a way of life in the Panhandle of Texas.

The purpose of the sirens is to warn citizens of inclement weather like hail storms and tornados are imminent.

But the city of Amarillo wants to discourage the idea that’s all they’re for and want people to realize they can be used to warn of other dangers coming their way.

They could be used for hazardous spills in an area, or something isn’t right at Pantex.

City officials want you to realize that the sirens mean something is going on outside and you should seek shelter away from it
