Columbiana County EMA » Siren Activations
If there is an emergency, you will be warned in one or more ways and you will
be informed of the protective action(s) to take. Early warning sirens are
located in many parts of Columbiana County. A steady, high pitched tone of
the siren for three minutes which may be repeated means that you should
turn on the radio or television to a local station for information on what to
do.

Emergency information will be broadcasted by the Emergency Alert System
(EAS).
Do not call local police/fire unnecessarily.

In other areas, emergency services vehicles with loud speakers may travel
through the affected neighborhoods to provide emergency warning. If you
hear a warning through this method, turn your radio or TV station to listen
to the EAS for instructions. Cable TV stations serving some of our area will
convey emergency “warnings” and/or general information to those
households with cable TV service. NOAA weather radios are another means
of learning about emergency conditions. They are available at local electronic
stores.

The Emergency Alert System is activated by the key officials in our area and
is used to provide emergency information and directions over local radio and
TV stations as listed below. Remember, you are a source of information.
Make sure your neighbors have been notified.
