LAWS Hazard Alert System

http://laws-systems.com/

The LAWS™ Hazard Alert System. A patented innovation in outdoor hazard warnings, this siren system provides a cost effective solution to the need for public notification of potential risks in outdoor areas where citizens are the most vulnerable. Typical applications for this outdoor warning system include: campuses, parks, recreation areas, and sport complexes; virtually any place where people gather outdoors. The level of preparedness currently available from NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) can now be offered to people in public places. LAWS™ Hazard Alert Systems make possible local area broadcasts of NWR warnings -- the kind of information that can save lives.

* Provides high power alert signal tone, voice hazard message and visual notification.
* NOAA-activated digitally by NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) broadcast signals.
* Not limited to weather warnings, the LAWS™ Hazard Alert System communicates alerts for any type of hazard covered by NWR.
* An excellent way to provide local hazard notification without activating a municipality's general siren
system.
* NWR voice messaging system provides more than a siren, it clarifies the threat and advises
appropriate actions to be taken.
* The LAWS™ Hazard Alert System broadcasts NWR warnings; specific messages for specific
audiences in specific areas.

The LAWS™ Hazard Alert System relies on the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) SAME system, which provides warning messages covering a wide array of hazards via VHF-FM radio broadcasts. The LAWS™ Hazard Alert System receives NWR transmissions and broadcasts them through amplified speakers to persons in the covered area. The NWR broadcasts are preceded by an 8 second alarm tone. As the alarm tone sounds a high intensity signal light is activated -- RED for potentially life threatening emergencies and AMBER for watches. The warning light remains active for the duration of the event as defined by the National Weather Service. This provides both a visual signal and audible broadcast. Other alerting options are available.

What type of Siren is this

[LAWSsystems]

The system is automatically activated by NOAA/NWS during all weather events and all hazard related events issued by DHS, a few of which are chemical spills, amber alerts & terrorist attacks. When the sytem is automatically acitvated either a red or amber light comes on, then an 8 second siren sounds and then the voice of NWS comes over the speakers telling of the event and what action to take. Range is 1000 ft for a 2000 ft radius.

The video is for demo purposes only. The audio clips are third genereration copies which obviously greatly degregate the intelligibility. The product is rated for 1000 feet in coverage which allows for proper intelligibility of the voice transmissions. The actual broadcasts come directly from NOAA and are quite clear. The product has been proven in the field in all aspects of operation. An actual demonstration could be provided to interested parties. Thank you for your feedback.

I think i just went deaf!

@garyhstorms09 Those horns do look familiar. it seems my guess to be University Sound 'Cobrelle Flex 3" horns (appearance) , or similar. This is only a guess

You have a great design there, but a lower warning tone and a slower spoken message may get the word out better. Low, scary penetrating tones catch the attention of the public better than most new sirens do today.

Voice announcements on standard electronic siren systems are generally unintelligible outside the immediate vicinity of the siren, and those are usually spoken clearly and slowly. This system has a garbled, synthesized voice which speaks far too fast to be understood with any sort of refraction. Keep working on it.
