View PostEmergency Preparedness & Outdoor Warning Siren Information
Hamilton County’s Outdoor Warning Siren System consists of approximately 190 strategically-placed sirens. These sirens serve as an early warning device to alert citizens to take shelter indoors and seek additional information. While the outdoor warning system can be an effective method of notifying those that are outdoors, to seek shelter indoors, it is only one component of a comprehensive emergency warning system. In addition, you should sign up for Alert Hamilton County (www.alerthc.org) to receive phone calls, text messages and/or emails about hazards that may impact your safety. This is in addition to our recommendation that you obtain a NOAA weather radio and tune in to local media reports from television, radio, or social media. We encourage you to have multiple ways to receive emergency notifications.
Designed as an Outdoor Warning System, the sirens SHOULD NOT be relied upon to provide sufficient warning INDOORS or in NOISY AREAS. Additionally, air conditioning, thunder, wind, rain, and other conditions can cause the sirens not to be heard indoors or outdoors, even if sirens can be heard during monthly tests. Sirens are also subject to lightning strikes and other equipment malfunction. Because the sirens are constantly exposed to the elements and other hazards, Hamilton County EMHSA cannot guarantee that the sirens will function correctly. For these reasons, everyone is encouraged to have multiple ways to receive information about severe weather.

PREPAREDNESS
Each person’s needs and abilities are unique, but every individual can take important steps to prepare for all kinds of emergencies and put plans in place. By evaluating your own personal needs and those of all members of your household, you can be better prepared for any situation.
PREPARING FOR AN EMERGENCY
- Consider how a disaster might affect your individual needs or those of your family.
- Plan to be self-sufficient, at least for a period of time. It’s possible that you will not have access to a medical facility or drugstore.
- Identify what resources you use on a daily basis and what you might do if they are limited or not available.
- Create a kit with your family’s unique considerations in mind. What do you need to maintain your health, safety and independence?
- If you, a family member, or neighbor has difficulty communicating, create a card for first responders that details what you will need and where your emergency supplies are located should you need to be transported or evacuated.
- If you or someone in your household has an access or functional need, you may have to take additional steps to prepare.
- Find out about individual assistance that may be available in your community.
- Create a Smart911 profile. Having a Smart911 profile will allow 9-1-1 call takers to share important family and medical information with first responders during an emergency.
Water Department News
The Village of Lockland is currently experiencing a staffing shortage in our Water Department. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency regulations require Lockland to have a Class II Water Operator in our water plant twenty (20) hours a week over five (5) days. We are unable to provide staffing at that certification level currently. As of 10:00 am today, May 22, 2024, we have temporarily shut down our water plant and have switched to Greater Cincinnati Water Works for our source of water within the Village of Lockland. This temporary measure will not affect the cost of water being supplied to our residents and businesses.
Our residents and businesses should not experience any change in their water quality or pressure. Like Lockland’s water, Greater Cincinnati Water Works is heavily regulated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Click here to view GCWW’s water quality report.
We are actively attempting to hire a Water Works Director and a Class II Water Operator. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Village Administrator at (513) 761-1124 or via email at [email protected]
