Tornadoes

No sight on earth elicits a visceral response quite like that of an approaching tornado. These weather events can spring up quickly and cause incredible destruction and loss of life. People outside in tornado prone areas often misinterpret the severity of a seasonal thunderstorm unaware that it is in the process of spawning a deadly twister. Fortunately the National Weather Service has greatly improved its ability to detect and forecast the path of a newly birthed tornado. These warnings are broadcast over NOAA Weather radio but will not be heard by those outdoors without a warning system equipped to broadcast these warnings

LAWS units strategically placed in areas where citizens may congregate outdoors will provide the earliest possible warning and instructions to those most vulnerable to injury from an approaching tornado. Early warning is key in allowing citizens the time necessary to take cover before a tornado hits.
