Public safety reminder: outdoor warning sirens signal severe weather
Summary
A speaker explains that outdoor warning sirens in the Kansas City area mean severe weather (often tornadoes) is imminent and advises seeking interior, windowless shelter on the lowest level and checking local news and weather apps.
If you hear outdoor warning sirens in the Kansas City metro area, move immediately to a small, interior room without windows on the lowest level of the building, such as a bathroom or hallway. The speaker said these tall poles with large speakers are used to alert the community that bad weather is approaching, most often when a tornado has been spotted or indicated. The speaker advised people to check local news and weather apps for updates and reiterated that the siren means people should take shelter immediately from severe weather.
