The city of Milton has gone live with its tornado warning siren system. The city now has eight operational sites:
- Ga. 9 just south of Bethany Road
- Francis Road one mile from Cogburn Road
- Hopewell Road north of the Manor subdivision
- Birmingham Road near Canterbury Chase
- Freemanville Road near the Pritchett Mountain water tower
- Fire station 43 on Hickory Flat Road
- Thompson Road near North Christopher's Run
- Birmingham Highway near Providence/New Providence roads
Two more sites, Ga. 140 near Old Holly Road and at Providence Park, are planned. The sirens are designed to complement Alpharetta’s existing sirens covering the Ga. 9/Deerfield corridor and the Crabapple Crossroads area, said Emergency Manager Matthew Marietta. He added the city will use its Code Red service and social media channels to relay weather information.
