City of Wyoming issued the following announcement on Aug 6.
Beginning this week, the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) is launching a new alert system to warn of severe thunderstorms.
The current wireless emergency alert system warns residents ahead of tornados or flash floods with a loud sound and vibration. The new alerts will also warn when thunderstorms are likely to knock out trees and cause damage to homes.
You don't have to sign up for the alerts as long as the settings on your phone allow for wireless emergency communication.
