With storm season well underway, city of Princeton residents need to know about the methods used to alert them when dangerous storms are in the vicinity so that they will know whether to take cover.
The city has two primary ways to alert its residents to severe weather, by sounding emergency sirens located throughout town and through text alerts that come through smart phones.
