May 27, 2026 Tornado Siren Maintenance

The tornado sirens in the City of Coldwater and Coldwater Township are going through a planned maintenance upgrade today. As part of that process, the sirens will be activated in short bursts, approximately 15 seconds, throughout the day. There is no need to call the police department or Central Dispatch to make a report related to the sirens. Staff will be on hand at each site as it is upgraded to ensure that it is working properly before moving on to the next site.

The City of Coldwater operates five tornado sirens, and Coldwater Township has three, to warn the public in the event of a tornado warning.

The sirens are tested year round on the first Saturday of the month at 1 p.m. The Branch County Amateur Radio Club (ARES) monitors each site in the City of Coldwater to ensure they are working properly and to report any defects.

Today's work will streamline the activation system at Branch County Central Dispatch, allowing for rapid and reliable siren activation in the event of a tornado warning in our area.
