Lackluster alert from the town for tornado warning

I believe we already (still) have one or more sirens and the suggestion is simply to activate them. Not install a whole new system.


And the takeaway from hearing a siren should be ‘Something urgent is happening, so check TV, radio, cell phones, etc for more info.’

  


Sirens.......would reach most of the town........if not-one, than two sirens.  No electronics needed aka smart phones.  If it takes a brief series of announcements to educate the town as to the meaning of the sirens then so be it.

Your not in Kansas anymore Toto




No single means of communication will work for everyone.  What is needed is a combination of communication methods which in the aggregate will work for most of us.  The reactivation of the siren system, assuming it is still operational, is being proposed as an alternative to smart phone notification systems for those who either don't have a smart phone or don't keep their smart phone on their person 24/7/365.


Most effective means of societal communication may be microchips implanted in the parietal lobe.  We could leverage as test cases those on the politics pages having already gone through the procedure.
