New Chatham County Sirens

The Chatham County Emergency Management Agency lobbied the county to purchase new tornado/emergency sirens for the local area. The sirens will complement the existing network of emergency alert units. These new sirens will be a great asset during the severe weather season, informing citizens to the potential for severe weather (e.g. tornado warnings). The below images show the old map and the newer map with pinks indicating the new coverage. Personnel from the Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) tell the media that the sirens will most likely be operational and working properly by March of 2009 if all goes as planned.
