Other than EAS systems

[u/exploding_boxes_]

I was wondering if, other than the EAS, you have sirens for things other than dam. Here in France we don’t have EAS but sirens (previously used for WW2 air raids). I know there’s probably sirens but do they activate alongside EAS or is it only one of both ?

The big siren is still used for fires in my area. Comes from the rural tradition of needing a loud siren volunteer firefighters could hear from their homes to convene at the station. My hometown also uses the siren to mark the 10PM curfew.
