Tornado Warnings
The Wichita Eagle writes about Sedgwick
County's siren system upgrade, which includes more precision in
siren warnings, and was done using ATI Systems equipment.

Magazine Cover Story: SPECIAL PROPERTY SECURITY DURING RECONSTRUCTION
Unlike the General Mills property, the site for the new World Trade
Center (WTC) complex in New York needed special security during
reconstruction. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s
reconstruction is underway with ambitious plans for five new skyscrapers,
a memorial park and museum, a new transportation hub, a retail complex
and a performing arts center. The safety and security of the construction
and planning team are paramount. What was needed was a unique emergency
warning system on the site. The system from ATI will provide audible
alerts and intelligible voice commands through its outdoor speaker
system. In case of any hazardous event, weather-related or man-made
emergency that requires an evacuation or relocation from the various
construction zones within the site, the system will immediately
notify the construction and planning team.
