Outdoor Warning Sirens
The City of Caldwell operates four outdoor warning sirens located throughout the community. The sirens are designed primarily to alert people who are outdoors that a potentially dangerous situation exists.
If you hear an outdoor warning siren, go indoors and seek additional information from local emergency alerts, weather information, radio, television, or other reliable sources. Do not rely on outdoor warning sirens as your only method of receiving emergency notifications.
