Louisiana group calls for statewide emergency siren following severe weather

Jul 15, 2026 | 1:33 PM

Louisiana Grassroots United is calling for stronger emergency warning systems.

This comes after last month’s tornado outbreak, which saw more than a dozen tornadoes tear through parts of southeast Louisiana and Mississippi.

Organizers are holding a news conference to speak with leaders about establishing a statewide emergency siren system for tornadoes and severe weather.

Their proposal includes strategically placed outdoor emergency warning sirens, clear activation standards, and regular testing and maintenance.
