What do the sirens mean?
They are Emergency Warning Signals

15-45 second two-tone or "hi-lo" is a Rescue Call
15-45 second rising and falling sound is a Fire Call
3 minute continuous steady sound is a Tornado
3 minute rising and falling sound is a Disaster

As a reminder the Westminster Chimes are sounded every day at 12:00 NOON.
