🌪️ Twinsburg opted out of statewide tornado drill yesterday. The city wants residents to understand its Outdoor Warning Siren System, which consisted of nine strategically placed sirens designed primarily for outdoor alerts. Officials emphasized these sirens shouldn't be relied upon indoors or in noisy areas, as weather conditions can prevent them from being heard.

Residents are encouraged to sign up for local alerts through Alert Sense and have multiple ways to receive severe weather information.
