Air raid sirens signify an emergency situation, such as an imminent attack or a natural disaster, where people need to take immediate shelter and follow safety procedures. They are used to alert the public and ensure a quick response to potential danger.
To let people know that an air raid was coming so they could seek shelter before enemy bombers dropped bombs on them. Without the sirens, the bombs would have been falling before they would have time to get to a shelter.
When the Air Raid sirens stop and the bombs stop falling it is safe to leave.
