Memphis is believed to have one of the most diverse operational siren systems in the country. The sirens are tested each Wednesday at 3:30pm in Alert for 2 and a half minutes.
History
The first siren installed in Memphis was the single tone Biersach & Niedermeyer Mobil Directo located atop East High School on Poplar Avenue, which still runs today. Originally powered by gasoline, the siren was eventually converted to run off of electricity.
