However, one common misconception about warning sirens is that they will alert those indoors to dangerous conditions outside. While some people may live close enough to hear the sirens in- doors, this is not the intended purpose. Sirens are designed to advise people who are outside that a hazardous condition exists or is approaching. A battery operated radio or TV is the best way to stay advised of possible dangerous conditions when indoors.
