Never understood the modern use of sirens. In the old days, there was a certain technology that allowed very loud noises. But the current sirens simply look like they should be capable to be general loudspeakers, capable of broadcasting instructions.
“Never understood the modern use of sirens.”
This incompetent DemocRat should have pulled out some old Civil Defense manuals. He would have seen that sirens can make different kinds of noises. A steady rising and falling tone meant Take Cover and a quivering tone meant All Clear.
In this case, one tone could have meant Tsunami! and another could have meant Fire!
But, this DemocRat would think, “How would my stupid subjects know the difference?” Buddy, the citizens are not as stupid as you are. Have an education and training program, conduct periodic tests and training using the siren tones.
