San Marcos urges residents to sign up for emergency alerts, explains outdoor siren system
Summary
City staff reminded residents to register for WarnCentralTexas alerts and noted outdoor sirens and local radio KZOS 103.1 FM are part of the warning system for emergencies.
A city staff member urged San Marcos residents to sign up for local emergency alerts at WarnCentralTexas.org and explained that outdoor siren towers around town are part of the city's outdoor warning system.
"If you hear them, it's a signal that you need to take shelter immediately," the staff member said, and added that the city partners with local radio station 103.1 FM, KZOS, to provide live updates during emergencies so residents can get information if other communications fail.
The staff member also reminded residents to follow the City of San Marcos on social media for updates and to use the website's "Get Alerts" function to receive warnings. The statement was presented as a public-safety announcement and did not introduce new city policy or ordinances.
