Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

[Chriswg]

A heads up - I now have access to a system through work relating to every siren system in the greater Cincinnati area.

If anyone has questions as to a siren location, type or status then please let me know.

[SIRENMAN]

What do you mean? Tell me more

[Chriswg]

There's nothing more to tell in all honesty - But if anyone has questions relating to sirens in the area I can probably give you a more corroborated answer.

SIREN TEST FOR HAMILTON COUNTY OFFICIALLY CANCELLED FOR TODAY

[Spencerlovestrains]

Clayton, do you know if Clermont, and Butler canceled?

I wonder if they will sound for the statewide tornado drill in a few weeks.

I suppose it's a good thing Anderson Township tested their sirens earlier this month, now that the tornado came through.

[SIRENMAN]

Anderson Township does not test their sirens, Hamilton County EMA does. They are tested 1st Wednesday of the month every month except in bad weather

[carexpertandy]

He's referring to when three of Anderson Township's sirens were being worked on and possibly tested intermittently on February 16th.

Apparently, an EF-0 tornado was confirmed going through Anderson Township, but none of the sirens ever sounded, because the EMA was never given a reason to. Makes me think they need to bring back the policy of sounding the sirens for a Severe Thunderstorm Warning with a Tornado Watch again.

I can see why people are upset about the sirens not being sounded, but NWSILN cannot see tornadoes on their radar... it's just not usually that easy. Everyone should have a weather radio.

Also found it interesting that they referenced the Thunderbolt on ATFD instead of the T-128. Albiet, both are active.
