Outdoor SirensThe City of Willard operates five outdoor warning sirens that sound during severe weather events that may include large hailstorms, heavy winds and tornado warnings. Though the sirens are placed strategically throughout the city, they are designed to warn people who are outdoors. People who are inside may not hear them, as air conditioning, thunder, wind, rain and other conditions can drown out the sound.
The City of Willard highly recommends each home and business have other means to receive warnings and notifications, including internet, radio, television or a NOAA weather radio. Huron County ALERTS: Huron County provides a free notification system using WENS (Wireless Emergency Notification System). See below for more information & to sign-up. |
