Important notice about the City of Deer Park’s outdoor emergency siren system:
The City of Deer Park is changing the sound of the emergency siren system. The new siren wail will be a steady tone, but may sound like it is changing slightly in pitch due to the siren speaker head spinning during activation. This change is being made to assist more citizens with hearing the sirens during emergencies.
Familiarize yourself with the sound of the emergency sirens:
Reminders about the siren system:
The sirens have a mounted red light on top to alert the Deaf community to an activation.
SIRENS ALWAYS MEAN SHELTER IN PLACE. They may be activated for a chemical release or for a tornado, but they are always activated to instruct the community to shelter in place.
THE SIRENS ONLY BROADCAST A SIREN WAIL. Recorded voice messages will not go out over the siren system. Do not exit structures to listen to the siren system as this is goes against the recommendation to shelter in place. Enroll in CodeRED for updates during emergencies, in addition to monitoring the news, city social media accounts and the city webpage.
