and before the Alerting Communicators Of America was the main subdivision of siren manufacturing for B&N the company just used the main company name B&N when they first started to make sirens such as the B&N Mobil Directo

Everyone’s talking about the fact that there’s a modulator in ASC’s testing room, but can we appreciate how the news station used an ACA Hurricane as the background photo for the opening to the story?

People need to understand this is PART of the system, not the whole system. Outdoor sirens are meant to warn people outdoors only. Inside a building where you can't hear sirens, you need a weather alert radio. Once you get the alert, go to your local media for details.

Me who adores sirens:

Activating sirens sounds fun!

Im from NY but I had business in the Mil last year and the city was doing some sort of seasonal testing of these sirens and it was ominous as hell. In WW2 in Manhattan where I'm from apparently these things would go off all the time. Because the buildings are in such close proximity in Manhattan the sound bouncing off the buildings from the sirens had to be horrific.

It is important for people to understand that tornado sirens are an important part of a community warning system in the event of weather, environmental, or nuclear disasters. They provide warning to people who are outdoors away from television and weather radio, without relying on a smartphone to be fully charged or on someone's person. They are still the most practical solution to notifying people who are outdoors. The cost is significant, around half the cost of a new car, but their reliability and usefulness has been proven over more than a hundred years of use. New systems do not rely on the electrical grid, but use battery backup and have optional solar charging. Additionally not all people have smartphones that can deliver the emergency alert tone; many people are turning to flip-phones for more economical and less intrusive personal communication.
