?We needed some way to get the warning out to people who are outside of buildings,? Adams said. ?If you hear the sirens, get inside and get additional information.?
The four-siren system is a combination voice and tone, Adams said. Tones will be accompanied by a verbal message indicating whether or not it is a test.
The sirens will sound Westminster Chimes when the emergency has ended.
Tests will take place twice a year, once during fall semester in order to educate new students and once spring semester during tornado awareness week, Adams said.
