The City of Dunwoody installed severe weather warning sirens at Brook Run Park and Dunwoody Park. The sirens are designed as an outside warning device to assist in alerting individuals, in the immediate area, of imminent severe and dangerous weather.
The sirens are capable of being heard by anyone outdoors within a one mile radius. In many instances, sirens can be heard indoors near the vicinity of the siren locations.
The sirens will be activated under imminent threat of:
- tornadoes
- thunderstorms with winds 70 mph or greater (potential to uproot or snap large tree limbs)
- golf ball sized hail or larger (potential for windows to break)
During the week of October 13, the city will test the new sirens at Brook Run Park. The exact date and time of the test will be announced next week. Please be advised it will only be a test, not an actual alert.
If you have questions about the sirens and early warning system please email parks@dunwoodyga.gov.
