 The Fort Worth Office of Emergency Management will conduct a siren drill at 1pm today weather conditions permitting. The first Wednesday of each month, your neighborhood siren will sound for 90 seconds. The remaining Wednesdays in the month, the siren will sound for 15 seconds. Drills may be canceled if severe weather is forecast or current weather conditions may cause confusion as to whether it is a drill or an actual activation. As a reminder, the city's outdoor warning system can be activated for a tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service. The report of a tornado by a qualified spotter, hail larger than 1 inch in diameter, 60 mile-per-hour or stronger winds, a state or national emergency or other incidents determined by an emergency management duty officer to warrant the siren activation. In an actual event, residents should seek shelter and seek information. During these weekly siren drills, the Office of Emergency Management recommends residents review emergency and communication plans, check on your emergency kit perishable supplies and that batteries are in good condition.
