Post urges indoor alerts, weather radios despite outdoor sirens

A social media post said outdoor sirens are effective but do not replace alerts that work indoors.

The post urged people to turn on push notifications for their preferred weather app and to keep a weather radio handy.

It also advised practicing getting to a safe place now so people are ready to act instantly when severe weather threatens, the post said.

The message included the hashtags #SWAW2026 and #TNwx and used a warning symbol to emphasize the guidance.
