Bath Township is seeking a grant for a pole-mounted siren that would alert residents to tornados and other emergencies.

Deputy Township Administrator Vito Sinopoli said the new siren would replace a mechanical model currently in the cupola at the Fire Department and would supplement an existing siren at Revere High School.

It would provide an "early warning alert for a variety of potential situations" to residents, businesses and surrounding areas, Sinopoli said.

Bath is asking for a grant from the Summit County Emergency Management Agency.

The grant, if awarded, would not require matching funds from the township.

The siren would be installed at the Township Center.
