The City of Brighton's
Emergency Warning System (EWS) is an outdoor siren system that is used to warn
the general population of Tornado danger in a short amount of time.
Brighton currently has 7 sirens located
strategically on poles throughout the City to ensure total citywide coverage.
EWS may be activated by individual siren, by siren zone, or citywide. . The
sirens are located at the following addresses:
12405 E. 120th Ave. 19594 E.168th Ave. 555 N.11th. Ave 15228 Chambers Road 238 South 50th Ave. The sirens have been placed to produce a 70 decibel noise level over all of the populated areas of the city. The 70 decibel level is a standard used by FEMA for siren effectiveness. The sirens produce a 70 decibel noise out to a distance of one mile and a 60 decibel level out to two miles.
What Do the Sirens Mean?
The system uses one siren tone. When they are activated during an emergency, the sirens will be activated for 5 minutes.
