This list is meant to catalog systems in the state of Georgia that do not have enough information about them to warrant a full article being made. These may be given pages if enough new information arises about them.

List of miscellaneous Georgian systems

Chattahoochee County

Chattahoochee County, also known as Cusseta-Chattahoochee County, is a county located on the western border in central Georgia. As of the 2020 census, the population was 9,565. The county seat is Cusseta, with which the county shares a consolidated city-county government. Chattahoochee County maintains 6 Sentry Siren Model 16V1T-Bs scattered throughout the Cusseta city limits, all installed in 2012 by Sirens for Cities, a Sentry Siren partner in Jonesboro, GA. Cusseta's sirens are tested on the 1st Saturday of the month at 12:00 PM in a few seconds of alert, weather permitting.

DeKalb County

For the DeKalb County civil defense siren system that no longer exists, see here.

Druid Hills Golf Club

The Druid Hills Golf Club is a private country club located in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. Druid Hills Golf Club maintains 2 2nd generation Thor Guard VOT lightning alarm systems. They are tested on an unknown date, if at all.

Dunwoody

Dunwoody is a city located in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. As a northern suburb of Atlanta, Dunwoody is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. As of 2020, the city had a population of 51,683. Prior to the 2010s, Dunwoody had no sirens of its own. 1 Federal Sign & Signal Thunderbolt Model 1000AT was installed behind Dunwoody Elementary School no later than 1972. This location did not appear on the 1963 list, and an Etowah Drive location was not able to be located during the same time frame; either this siren could have either been on Etowah and later relocated or the Etowah location was scrapped altogether and relocated to Dunwoody Elementary. The siren was removed in 1989 and was most likely relocated to Cobb County. Only the pole, standpipe, relay, and miscellaneous wiring remain. Dunwoody now maintains 1 Federal Signal Model DSA 4x1 at Dunwoody Park (which was possibly relocated as of late) and 1 DSA 6x2 at Brook Run Park, both of which were installed before October 23rd, 2014. Dunwoody does not have a test schedule, and their sirens are seemingly tested sporadically at dates announced beforehand.

Stone Mountain Park

Stone Mountain is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock and the site of Stone Mountain Park, 15 miles (24 km) east of Atlanta, Georgia. Outside the park is the city of Stone Mountain, Georgia. Stone Mountain Park maintains 7 2nd generation Thor Guard VOT lightning alarm systems, 1 at the Children's Playground at Stone Mountain, 1 at Confederate Hall, 1 at Lewallen Pavilion, 1 at Memorial Hall, 2 at Stone Mountain Golf Club, and 1 at the pavilion on top of the mountain. A Sentry Siren Model VR-5, installed in 2019 by Sirens for Cities, a Sentry Siren partner in Jonesboro, GA, is present at the Stone Mountain Campground off Trail F and is used as a storm siren, although its ownership and whether or not it is part of the Thor Guard VOT system is unknown. The Thor Guard VOTs are (or were) supposedly silent tested daily at 12:00 PM; their activity status is questionable, and a few sources claim they are no longer used. The Model VR-5 is not regularly tested.

Morgan County

Morgan County is a county located in the north central Piedmont region and the lake country region of the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2020 census, the population was 20,097. The county seat is Madison. Madison County maintains 7 Federal Signal Model 2001-130s, 1 Model 2001-SRN, and 2 Model 2s, all but 1 installed at unknown dates. The 2001-130 installed in Buckhead was put up in 2012 to replace a nonfunctional Model 2. Madison's sirens are not controlled by the county and do not test alongside them despite popular misconception. It is unknown when Morgan County tests as the EMA gives several different answers, but they most likely go on a Wednesday either monthly or weekly.

Madison

Madison is a city in Morgan County, Georgia, United States. It is part of the Atlanta-Athens-Clarke-Sandy Springs combined statistical area. The population was 4,447 at the 2020 census, up from 3,979 in 2010. The city is the county seat of Morgan County and the site of the Morgan County Courthouse. Madison maintains 1 Federal Signal Model 2001-130, 1 Model 2001-SRNB, (both installed at unknown dates), and 1 Model ECLIPSE8 that replaced a Model STH-10 and Model 2 setup in 2017 after the 2 sirens were downed by Hurricane Irma. These sirens are municipally owned and are completely seperate from Morgan County's sirens. Madison's sirens are tested on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 11:00 AM for an unknown duration in an unknown signal, weather permitting.
