The City of Sand Springs has 23 emergency warning sirens to warn our citizens of emergency events.  In addition to the three tones, Seek Shelter, Avoid Hazardous Area and National Emergency, our sirens are capable of delivering voice messages from our public safety officials.

In the event of the sounding of the emergency warning sirens, citizens are encouraged to to tune into local media outlets for more information.  Please do not call 911 or the non-emergency line to inquire what the sirens are sounding for.  Calling may prevent our communications dispatchers from answering true emergency calls.  If you would like a more personalized way of having information delivered to you, please sign up for our emergency telephone notification system.
