Let’s Bring Back San Francisco’s Emergency Sirens
In 2020, San Francisco turned off its emergency sirens due to cybersecurity concerns. Today, they remain silent—with no public plan, no budget, and no timeline for restoration.
Why It Matters
- 📢 Sirens are critical for alerting everyone—not just those with smartphones.
- 👵 They protect seniors, unhoused residents, people with disabilities, and outdoor workers.
- 🌉 Every second counts during earthquakes, wildfires, and toxic air events.
Our Mission
Sound the Siren SF is a grassroots campaign to restore audible emergency alerts as part of a modern, equitable, and secure disaster notification system. We believe safety should never be silent.
