Two reasons: 1) There is a tornado in the area, if so you should take cover in either the lowest level of your house or a central room without any windows (a closet or bathroom is your best option) 2) The siren is being tested, this normally occurs at noon on the first Wednesday of the month. If you don't know which it is, check the weather in your area.

What are the steps for preparing for a tornado?

if you live in an area where tornadoes often occur (such as Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, etc.), there would be sirens going off when scientists and meteroligists predict a tornado. The TV also might warn you. If you are at home, go to the basement. If you don't have a basement, go take shelter on low ground and avoid windows. If you are in the car, NEVER try and outrun a tornado. It will suck you up. Tornadoes are over in a couple of minutes so don't stop to get food and water. Tip: Your pet's life doesn't matter. :(
