UPDATE: Today’s testing of our outdoor warning sirens in conjunction with the statewide test was not successful. This is why we test! We have contacted our radio system service providers. Once the issue is identified and corrected, we will reschedule the test.
There are proactive steps you can take to make sure you, your family or your business are StormAware. – Take a few minutes to prepare and learn what you can do to stay safe when severe weather hits at https://stormaware.mo.gov/.
- Purchase a NOAA All-Weather Radio if you don’t already have one for your home or business. This type of radio is like a smoke detector for severe weather, and it can wake you up when a warning is issued for your area so you can take appropriate action.
- If you haven’t already, sign up for the City’s CodeRed notification system (which will be tested city wide later this afternoon). Learn more and register at https://www.libertymissouri.gov/…/Community-Notification-Sy…
- If you have a smart phone, download one of the many free weather alerting apps.
