Two new emergency sirens added in Lexington

LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – Lexington Emergency Management has added two new outdoor warning sirens, bringing the city’s total to 33.

One siren has been installed at Cardinal Run Park North and another near Davis Park, behind Artworks at the Carver School. Officials say the sirens are designed to alert people outdoors during severe weather—not those inside homes or businesses.

As part of its routine monthly test, Lexington Emergency Management sounded the entire siren system Wednesday morning, including the two new locations.
