Clermont County and emergency management officials throughout Greater Cincinnati have adopted the same criteria for when outdoor warning sirens are sounded which includes:

Testing conducted at Noon on the first Wednesday of each month
When a tornado WARNING is issued for Clermont County or for any adjacent county when Clermont County may also be affected
As a notification tool for telling people to seek official information about an emergency from commercial media outlets or NOAA “all-hazards” radio

Remember that sirens are primarily for notification of those located outdoors away from a radio or television. Every household should have a NOAA “all-hazards” radio that can be sounded by the National Weather Service or emergency officials for notification of severe weather and other emergencies. New Richmond residents who need assistance programming a NOAA radio they have purchased can contact the fire and EMS department at 513-553-2117 who may be able to assist them.

Members of Torch Club from the New Richmond Boy’s and Girl’s Club provided dinner for fire and EMS employees at the department’s monthly staff meeting in February. Club members presented the department a certificate of appreciation and thank you poster as well as a delicious, home-cooked meal. These young people were exceptionally polite and well-mannered and department members enjoyed their visit.

New Richmond Fire and EMS Department’s Quint 36 works with Washington Township Fire and Rescue personnel to secure tarpaulins on the damaged roof of a Moscow home affected by the March 2, 2012 tornado.

Units that responded include Quint 36, Rescue 36, Medics 36 and 236, Utility 36 and Support 36. Through early Saturday morning and the following week NRFEMS assisted in clearing debris and securing damaged homes and businesses.
