1. Is there an “all clear” sounded after the tornado sirens are activated?

No. In Libertyville and the surrounding Fire Protection District, we do not sound an all clear after the tornado sirens are sounded. It is important that you stay abreast of weather conditions by listening to the radio or television to determine when warnings have expired for our area. Additionally, please do not call 911 to ask if a warning is over. Calling 911 when you do not have an emergency can overload the lines and put real emergencies on hold.

If you need a non-emergency question answered, please call our non-emergency number at (847) 362-5664.
