Civil defense sirens in the UK are largely considered obsolete and are not actively used for their original purpose of warning against nuclear attacks or other emergencies. Most of these sirens have been decommissioned, with some remaining in place for historical reasons. In the event of a significant national emergency, the UK government would likely utilize modern communication methods, such as mobile alerts and public broadcasts, rather than relying on sirens. However, local authorities might still have emergency sirens for specific situations, such as severe weather warnings.

Is the US civil defense militia still active?

As of now, the U.S. Civil Defense Militia as an organized entity is largely inactive. The concept of civil defense has evolved, and many of its roles have been absorbed by local, state, and federal emergency management agencies. However, some local or community groups may still operate under similar principles, focusing on disaster preparedness and response. Overall, the formal structure of a national civil defense militia does not exist in the same way it did during the Cold War era.

Why did Federal stop making the STH-10 siren?

Civil Defense Sirens are Still Made,there are Two Distinguished Types of Civil Defense Sirens....Electronic,and Electromechanical......Electromechanical Sirens use a Spinning Rotor to Force Air through the Ports of a Stator...Generating Sound......Electronic Sirens use Amplifiers,Tone Generators and Large Array's of Speakers to Generate Sound. The Reason for Discontinuing the STH-10,is indeed because of New Technology....the Modern Equivilent of the STH-10 is the Eclipse 8 which is still made by Federal Signal. Electromechanical Sirens are still made and Used Today...although Electronic Sirens are Increasing in Popularity. --- The primary reason older-style mechanical sirens, such as the STH-10, XT22, Thunderbolt and so on, have been discontinued are due to a growing desire for outdoor warning sirens that include battery backup, which allows them to continue operating in the event of a power failure. Although an older AC-only siren could be connected to an automatic backup generator to operate during a power failure, the expense of maintaining both a siren and a generator often exceeds the expense of maintaining a new siren with built-in battery backup, especially if a community has multiple siren sites. Communities that still desire mechanical sirens, but wish to switch to a system with battery backup, common choose brands and models such as the FS 2001, FS Eclipse, ASC T-128, Sentry 16V1T-B, and other similar sirens. Additionally, there is also a desire in many communities to transition to an outdoor siren system that includes the capability of broadcasting voice alerts and messages related to the situation at hand. This is something that mechanical sirens, regardless of age or model, are simply not capable of doing. This is where brands and models such as Whelen, FS Modulator, and ASC i-Force come into play. With no moving parts, electronic sirens are, essentially, amplified loudspeakers with the ability to generate various computer-synthesized warning tones and signals, along with playing pre-recorded or even live voice broadcasts.
