Loud hailer vehicles will be used to alert people ahead of the sirens being sounded, said Graham Lindsey, flood resilience team leader at the Environment Agency. “The testing of the sirens is part of our work with partners to ensure that we are fully prepared to take action this winter wherever it is needed.
“It is important that we test the audibility of sirens to check that they can be heard as widely as possible.
