In emergency evacuation situations, every second counts, and gaining the attention of large groups quickly can save lives. Whether during natural disasters, facility evacuations, or remote-site emergencies, the Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon delivers a powerful, unmistakable blast that cuts through noise and chaos to alert, direct, and mobilize people with urgency.

Sound the Alarm When Seconds Matter

A single cannon blast serves as an immediate and unmistakable warning signal to begin
evacuation procedures. In crowded outdoor spaces, rural camps, or areas without modern
alarm systems, it provides a rapid, audible call to action when visual cues or voice announcements may fall short.

Reach Large Crowds in High-Stress Environments

When panic, confusion, or environmental noise threatens communication, a cannon blast
ensures the evacuation signal is heard across fields, campuses, waterfronts, or industrial zones. The sharp, echoing report commands attention, even from those at a distance or indoors.

Direct Movement and Signal All-Clear

Signal cannons can also be used during staged evacuations or drills to cue specific phases,
such as initial movement, checkpoint completion, or the all-clear to return. This adds structure to emergency protocols and ensures consistent coordination across teams and zones.

Effective in Areas with Limited Infrastructure

In parks, outdoor festivals, temporary encampments, or older buildings lacking PA systems, the Winchester Model 98 offers a non-electric, portable solution to signal emergencies, no batteries, wires, or power grid required.

Safe, Non-Lethal, and Easy to Operate

Firing blank charges only, the Model 98 is safe for public settings while offering the volume needed to alert large groups. Its manual design means anyone trained can operate it quickly and confidently during urgent situations.

Used by Emergency Planners, Safety Officers, and Coordinators

From schools and camps to city event organizers and disaster response teams, professionals trust the Model 98 to fill communication gaps when seconds and clarity matter most.
