LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - It’s unclear exactly when Lubbock’s tornado sirens were last operational, but it has been several decades since they’ve sounded off across the Hub City. After years of debate, city council approved the budget for new sirens to be installed later this year.
Tuesday night, city council approved more than $700,000 to purchase and install 45 outdoor sirens throughout city limits. Director of Emergency Management Joe Moudy said the goal is to alert people who are outside or not signed up for LBK alerts.
