The City of Richmond has a city-wide warning system for severe weather. Outdoor sirens will sound when a tornado has been reported within the area (sirens are only designed to be heard outdoors and occupants of buildings should NOT rely on them as their primary weather warning).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severe weather includes severe thunderstorms, high winds, large hail or tornados. Severe weather watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severe weather watches and warning information may be received by monitoring weather alert radios, local television and radio broadcasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alerts can also be received by subscribing to one of several free weather alert applications for email and text message notifications (i.e. www.weather.com, www.nixle.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
