Did you hear the sirens? Mapping Detroit’s warning network after September tornado

While most of Detroit has audible siren coverage, some areas may have light coverage, according to an analysis by the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability’s Detroit Sustainability Clinic and that compares the city’s siren locations with how sound travels and fades over distances.

The siren network covers approximately 95% of the city, according to Detroit’s hazard mitigation plan.

They include the area of Mack Avenue and East Grand Boulevard, as well as Benson Street and East Grand Boulevard.

Both intersections are near the path of the September tornado. On the northeast side, the area around Schoenherr Street and Eight Mile Road may have coverage gaps.
