We wish to clarify the use and policy surrounding City of Middletown’s Outdoor Warning Sirens. The sirens will be activated when we have the following circumstances:
- The National Weather Service issues a Tornado Warning in Butler or Warren County
- The National Weather Service notifies the City of a Doppler indicated cell in Butler or Warren County
- A sighting of a funnel cloud in Butler or Warren County by a credible source (law enforcement official, fire, EMS official, National Weather Service weather spotter, or numerous calls from the public in a specific area)
- Upon the order of the Police Chief, Deputy Chief of Police, Fire Chief, Communications Supervisor, or on-duty Patrol Supervisor
