They do have lots of shelters, but back in '91 one got bombed, killing 400 civilians so most people prefer to stay home or in the cellar.
AA fire normally explodes mid-air, debris doesn't destroy buildings when it falls down.

If Baghdad has a warning system in place (air raid and all clear sirens), how effective is it? |
Not much apparently. What they know with absolute certainty is when they are firing with AAA.

I would assume these warning systems would be radar based and I'm sure most radar emitting sites in Baghdad are (or were) a prime target for allied strikes. |
Probably. But then, so were 'command and control centers'...
