🚨 Siren tune-up

Clermont County • August 13, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Clermont County. Cincinnati's entrepreneurial ecosystem is flexing its muscles with 28 local companies landing spots on Inc. Magazine's prestigious 5000 list of America's fastest-growing firms. This impressive showing coincides with another economic victory lap: the O.H.I.O. Fund has raised a remarkable $238 million in just its first year, already injecting capital into nearly 20 promising ventures, including two right here in Greater Cincinnati.

While business booms, Hamilton County's Emergency Management Agency is fine-tuning its safety infrastructure with comprehensive maintenance of all 200 outdoor warning sirens through December. Residents shouldn't be alarmed by brief test sounds during this first-of-its-kind assessment of the aging system. Officials recommend complementing these outdoor alerts with indoor solutions like Alert Hamilton County or NOAA weather radios – because when it comes to severe weather, multiple layers of protection are always better than one.

🚨 Hamilton County sirens will briefly sound during maintenance work. The Emergency Management Agency is evaluating all 200 outdoor warning sirens through December to assess their condition and enhance the severe weather alert system. Director Nick Crossley assures residents that brief siren tests won't occur during actual severe weather events, and the system will remain functional throughout the maintenance period. This comprehensive assessment, the first of its kind for the county, aims to develop a long-term maintenance plan for the aging system, with some sirens being 15-20 years old. Officials recommend residents sign up for Alert Hamilton County or use NOAA weather radios, as outdoor sirens aren't designed to be heard indoors.
