Parks & Rec Departments Need Emergency Warning Systems
Parks and recreation departments have a responsibility to keep their visitors safe. To do this, they need effective emergency alert systems to quickly communicate information to visitors during natural disasters, severe weather, and other emergencies. Without an emergency plan in place, consequences can include severe injury, loss of life, and major property damage.
Parks and recreation departments need to be prepared to handle many different kinds of emergencies. Types of emergencies include:
- Weather and climate emergencies such as lightning, tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, and blizzards.
- Rescuing a person in danger, such as an injured hiker or a lost child.
- Infrastructure emergencies, such as collapsed bridges.
- Safety emergencies, such as active shooters, bomb threats, and acts of terrorism.
How Can a Parks & Recreation Department Notify Citizens About Emergencies?
The sooner you know about an emergency, the sooner you can react. Quick, efficient mass notification systems allow for faster responses in emergency events. There are many different ways to monitor conditions and warn guests about emergencies, including:
- Outdoor warning sirens, also known as tornado warning sirens or storm sirens.
- Giant voice sirens to communicate specific information to guests, like directions to a shelter building.
- Outdoor cameras to monitor weather conditions actively affecting your target area.
- Weather stations and sensors to supply real-time weather data about water levels, wind speeds, and more.
- Indoor warning systems installed in community centers, sports complexes, and other recreation buildings to warn about severe weather, intruders, and other immediate dangers.

Emergency Warning System Design Process
First, we meet with you to identify your design requirements. During this free consultation, we learn more about the people you serve and the area you’re seeking to protect.
Next, we assess the area you want to cover. Our approach to design takes topological features like trees, hilly terrain, and rock formations into account. We use advanced sound propagation software to perform an acoustic study on the target area and create a layered siren map. This provides data on how new sirens can mix with your existing sirens to improve coverage and informs the type of siren you should use (voice vs. tone).
Using this information, our engineers design and install an outdoor warning system for your target area. Our siren system engineering makes sure you can effectively cover large, open outdoor spaces and make sure emergency warnings can be heard loud and clear.
