ANN ARBOR, Mich. (WXYZ) — In the wake of last night’s powerful storms that caused damage in parts of Ann Arbor, the city has announced it will retain and invest in its outdoor warning siren system.
In February, the city had announced that they were asking for community input about possibly retiring the system after it had been used twice in the last five years. At the time, the city said the system needs repairs and maintenance, with $60,000 expected for repairs over the next three years and roughly $17,000 annually for maintenance. The city noted that decommissioning the sirens would not eliminate warnings and that they would expand communication on how people could receive alerts in various ways.
