Van Buren Township
We are happy to announce that all outside equipment has been delivered to our vendor (West Shore Services Inc.) and the installation process of the Emergency Alert Siren (EAS) system has begun.
As of Thursday, March 19, four siren sites were the first to be completed at Van Buren Park, Ecorse and Belleville, Haggerty and Ecorse, and in the area of Van Buren Plaza. The remaining nine towers should be installed within a three-week period contingent on the frost law.
Though the system is not operational until all sirens are installed, we are developing protocols for Public Safety personnel to follow in the event of an emergency that requires the public / community to be notified by use of the Township EAS system.
This important life-safety project has been made possible through funding from the Downtown Development Authority, Van Buren Civic Fund, and CDBG block grant funds.
