Powell has never had its own tornado sirens, and in some neighborhoods, it can be silent during a tornado warning.
POWELL, Ohio — Powell leaders are looking at options to install tornado sirens in the city after a recent increases in severe weather across central Ohio.
The city is still looking into where the sirens would be placed, and when they would be installed, but they are considering placing one both north and south of state Route 750. Delaware County Emergency Management Director Alex McCarthy said Powell is one of several local governments that reached out to him for information on bringing tornado sirens to their municipalities.
“Truly the purpose of tornado sirens is to let people who are outside know, Hey, we have a hazard coming, a probable tornado coming and it is time to go inside and figure out if we are in the path of the tornado do we need to go in the basement,” McCarthy said. “In my personal experience these outdoor warning systems are to give people outside notice it is time to go inside and take shelter.”
