Now, the sirens themselves are taking shape and soon will be ready to serve our community.
✅ Once complete, 18 outdoor sirens will serve the southern portion of Haywood County — including Cruso, Lake Logan, areas toward Canton, and Clyde. These sirens are designed to alert residents of flooding and flash flooding threats.
⚠️ While these sirens are a powerful tool to enhance public safety, they are not a substitute for personal preparedness. Every household should:
• Have an emergency plan
• Stay informed through official channels
• Be ready to act when severe weather threatens

We are pursuing additional funding opportunities to expand siren coverage across other areas of the county. Haywood County remains committed to building a safer, more prepared community. Stay connected. Stay informed. Stay ready!
