The Donald C. Cook Nuclear Generating Station Sirens are a network of 70 sirens located within a 10-mile radius of the Donald C. Nuclear Generating Station located in Bridgman, Michigan. There are three WPS-2750 sirens located near the plant. However most of them are WPS-2805 , and WPS-2905 and WPS-2906, sirens. These sirens are activated by Berrien County Emergency Management.
Most sirens run on 435 HZ, but a few WPS-2900's and a WPS-2805 run 560 HZ. This plant used to have ACA P-15 and Banshee Sirens, and it is rumored that the plant also had Hurricane sirens.
As of February 2021, the siren system has been decommissioned and replaced with a less reliable telephone alerting system.
