Emergency Warning Siren

Williams Township was approached last fall by Bay County’s 911 Central Dispatch Director, Leonard Norman, and Bay County’s Emergency Management Coordinator, Chris Izrowski, with regard to installing a tower with a loudspeaker/siren system to alert residents of potentially hazardous weather or other situations as determined by Emergency Services.  The warning would be activated by Bay County’s 911 Emergency Services and, with proper planning per Roger Garner, Emergency Management Coordinator for Midland County, could also be activated by their Emergency Services Office.

With a generous donation from Dow Corning and thru Bay County Emergency Services Department (Homeland Security Grant), the Warning Siren was installed at the northern end of Pine Grove Cemetery.

On Wednesday, October 26^th at 12:00 noon and 6:00 P.M., Bay County’s 911 Central Dispatch will activate the sirens as part of our Emergency Warning Siren System, testing process. These siren tests will happen the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M.
