Emergency Siren System
A network of 27 outdoor warning sirens serves a geographic area surrounding the industrial park at South Saginaw Road and Bay City Road in the City of Midland. Sirens are located throughout the City of Midland, Midland Township, parts of Ingersoll Township, parts of Williams Township (Bay County), and Tittabawassee Township (Saginaw County).
Outdoor warning sirens are activated for Severe Weather and Hazardous Material Release. They are given a full test the first Saturday of each month at 12:50 pm and a short "growl' test on other Saturdays at 12:50 pm. The sirens have only one signal type, which is to alert you that an emergency exists and you should move indoors and seek additional information. The two outdoor warning sirens located inside the Dow Facility are tested at 10:55 am on the first Monday or every month.
LISTEN, ACT & INFORM
When the sirens sound for Severe Weather we have received information from the National Weather Service that a Tornado Warning or a Severe Thunderstorm Warning with damaging winds has been issued. Please see this video for what to know during severe weather.
When sirens sound for a Hazardous Material Release, it is important to know what part of the community is impacted and how to safely shelter in place. Please watch this video for what to do during a hazardous material release.
