New Emergency Warning System in Saint Paul

The City of Saint Paul recently upgraded its Emergency Warning System and installed 37 brand new warning sirens throughout the city. Emergency Management Director Rick Larkin talks about the upgrades.

great to see St. Paul is upgrading there systems however the idea of having ONE sound to notify people is just so silly... There should be different sounds from a thunderstorm warning to a tornado warning

36 sirens is not alot for that big of a city.. they should have kept the old system, and just added the new sirens in w/ the old.

Marcie Swadener Seattle doesn’t have them because it’s west of the rockies. Because St Paul is east of the rockies, they’re at risk for tornadoes in the dry months

Should have waited until the 508s came out

Useless! Waste of money! People have smart phones for alerts, you can buy weather radios that give you alerts! People ignore the sirens usually and go on about there usual activities. Sirens are old, outdated, Unreliable technology.
