In a fantasy world: a system made up of dual-tone Thunderbolts - shocking, I know - and a few 500AT sirens. The Tbolts would be set to Chopper Levels 3, 4, and 5 - all different, to create a loud system. They'd all be painted classic CD yellow and would test daily at noon, with a quick growl test. Then, the first Saturday of the month, for 3m Alert/3m Attack at noon. Severe Weather Warnings (which include 70+ mph winds without tornado) would sound the Alert tone for 5m. Actual Tornado Warnings would sound the Attack cycle for 5m.
In a more realistic world (still making this up), probably a system of Sentry 40V2T sirens (since those are the loudest) - painted yellow, and sounding in Attack for everything. Then, at the fire stations, there'd be a red Modulator 8032B - which would be for fire calls (in Alternating Wail tone), as well as for voice messages in emergencies. Tested hourly, with Westminster Chimes.
Viva la Thunderbolt!
