Sirens located in a community may be activated to warn the local population of a variety of disasters. Explain the type of disaster(s) for which sirens would be most suitable and why.
Recipients of warnings issued by authorities rarely respond immediately to the initial message. Describe the actions an individual is likely to take before responding, especially if the warning message is unexpected. (Example, the fire alarm sounding and there are no signs of smoke, or a tornado siren sounding on a sunny day.)
From what source do meteorologists with the National Weather Service gather information about severe weather before issuing a weather alert? (Hint: NWS Weather Warning Process Video)
