Sec. 10.

(a) In order for a county to complete the process of finalizing their siren coverage report, the county must submit the report to the IDHS in accordance with IC 36-8-21.5-11. Not later than six (6) months after a county submits a report, the IDHS shall:

(1) review the siren coverage report;

(2) determine and advise the county if any information required under IC 36-8-21.5-11 is absent or not adequately addressed; and

(3) make any recommendations to the county that the IDHS determines to be necessary to ensure a comprehensive outdoor warning system exists within that county. The objective of the outdoor warning system will be to provide a timely and adequate alert and warning of severe weather conditions to all residents of the county either by being in range of a severe weather warning siren or by such other alternate means and methods as are provided for by the county.

(b) In accordance with IC 36-8-21.5-10, once a county has prepared a county siren coverage report, the county legislative body may request the assistance of the IDHS in the development of a county siren coverage plan. The IDHS shall assist the county in developing a siren coverage plan for the county, once the IDHS determines that the county's siren coverage report is complete.
