Texarkana is upgrading its outdoor emergency warning system with ten new sirens replacing some in use since 1978. These sirens alert residents to tornadoes, hazardous spills, and other threats.
Texarkana, Arkansas, plans to upgrade its system soon and will connect with Texas for better coverage. Officials remind residents to check news sources or NOAA alerts when sirens sound.
Meanwhile, Texarkana, Texas Police switched to Hyper Reach for emergency alerts. Residents can sign up for free to get severe weather warnings via call or text.
