Sirens Project

MISSION

Sirens Project is dedicated to the organization and deployment of disaster response teams to areas that have been impacted by severe weather and other natural disasters.

Our goal is to coordinate specialized rapid deployment teams, supply drops, and general volunteer response. By communicating with local law enforcement, churches, and non profit organizations, we aim to identify the greatest need within the impacted community.

HISTORY

Sirens Project was born from a combination of passion for severe weather and helping others.

The tornado event of May 31, 2013 west of a small town called El Reno, Oklahoma sparked what would eventually become the efforts of Sirens Project. The largest tornado, at 2.6 miles wide, forever changed the storm chasing community and the trajectory of what Sirens Project has become.

Sirens Project started as a grass roots effort using UAVs as a platform for severe weather research. Using cutting edge unmanned aerial vehicles, we set out to develop a safe and effective way to research supercell thunderstorms. We designed and manufactured UAVs in our basement shop in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA. We refined our designs again and again during field operations in Tornado Alley, USA.

Our objective was to help shed a positive light on the upcoming UAV industry, as well as gather difficult to obtain in situ data within severe weather in hopes of improving forecasts and developing a more effective disaster response plan.

What once was an exploratory effort using unmanned aerial vehicles to help unlock the mystery of tornadic supercells, has now become an official 501(c)(3) non profit dedicated to assisting communities impacted by natural disasters.
