Several methods will be used to communicate the severe weather information including:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>NOAA weather alert radios;<br \/>\n<LI>Audible devices on the fire alarm systems;<br \/>\n<LI>Alertcast Emergency Notification System;<br \/>\n<LI>Text pagers;<br \/>\n<LI> House paging; and<br \/>\n<LI> Broadcast media.<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>In addition, Douglas County will sound Civil Defense Warning Sirens for both the morning and evening drills. Departments may determine their level of participation, however, at the very minimum they should make sure notification is received, staff know what to do and where the shelter is located. Departments also should ensure their shelters are accessible and available.<\/p>\n<p>All areas participating in the drill are asked to complete an online &#8220;Severe Weather Report&#8221; form after the drill that can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.preceptor.com\/safety\/weather\/\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.preceptor.com\/safety\/weather\/<\/a>. <B>(Remember to hit the
