Well, I belive it already is the law that the warnings are by county and not city - am I right? I mean, last year, when we had a tornado warning when I was in my [now] city of Warren, there were no actual tornadoes there, but they were in Macomb County, so the siren down the street went off. So, I've always thought that sirens go off county-wide if the warning is in that county - regardless if it's in that city or not.
I also agree wtih Jpressman - you cannot hold everyone's hand. If people choose to ignore the sirens and stay outside, upstairs, etc - thats their problem. It's just like people who choose to go into a storm with a camera and take pics, or film it - if they get killed, it's their own fault. Dont wait until it's too late - get the warnings out ASAP.
