Nine new warning sirens are being installed in and around the Northmont community, a partnership of four local governments designed to keep residents safe in an emergency.

The new sirens will help alert more people in Clayton, Englewood, Trotwood and Clay Township, the four governments that partnered on the project.

The sirens will be placed strategically throughout the region to warn residents of severe weather conditions.

The sirens were purchased by Montgomery County and then sold to the partnering agencies. The Department of Homeland Security and the four local governments involved split the costs.

The sirens will be put in places to provide maximum coverage but so they do not overlap. The city of Clayton added three to the city.

Residents can sign up for Clayton’s notification system to receive alerts for tornadoes and emergency warnings. Residents also can use a weather radio or tune into WHIO-TV and WHIO-Radio, or download the WHIO app, for updated weather alerts.
