Weather Warning System
Installation & Testing
At Brook Run Park & Dunwoody Park
The City of Dunwoody installed severe weather warning sirens at
Brook Run Park and Dunwoody Park. The sirens are designed as an outside warning
device to assist in alerting individuals, in the immediate area, of imminent
severe and dangerous weather.
The sirens are capable of being heard by anyone outdoors within
a one mile radius. In many instances, sirens can be heard indoors near the
vicinity of the siren locations.
The sirens will be activated under imminent threat of:
- tornadoes
- thunderstorms with winds 70 mph or greater (potential to uproot or snap large tree limbs)
- golf ball sized hail or larger (potential for windows to break)
During the week of
October 13, the city will test the new sirens at Brook Run Park. The exact date
and time of the test will be announced next week. Please be advised it will
only be a test, not an actual alert.
If you have questions
about the sirens and early warning system please email parks@dunwoodyga.gov.

Just think, a few more strategically placed sirens and we would be just like Milton and Sandy Springs.
