I decided to start this topic already because my school has started summer school, which is technically counted as part of the 2025-2026 school year.
Today, we had a tornado drill in summer school. Around 9:40 AM, the principal made an announcement over the intercom system, saying that we would be having a tornado drill and that the alarm would be going off soon. I’d never heard the tornado alarm at my school before, so I didn’t know what to expect. A couple of minutes later, the alarm went off. It turns out that they are using my school’s Audio Enhancement EPIC IP based intercom system for the tornado alarm. It has only a voice message and no tone. The voice message says, “Alert! A tornado warning has been issued! Please remain indoors until further notice”.
I was expecting them to use the Siemens voice evac system for the tornado alarm like they did for the lockdown alarm, but I guess not.
