Emergency sires to be tested Tuesday
The monthly test of the all-hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 11:45 a.m. The siren test will be coordinated with a test of the Live Audio Broadcast segment of the Emergency Alert System.
During this monthly test, all Statewide Outdoor Warning Sirens will sound a one-minute Attention Alert Signal (SteadyTone). The system is one part of Hawaii’s Statewide Alert and Warning System used to notify the public during emergencies. If you hear this siren tone in circumstances other than a test, follow emergency information and instructions provided by official government channels. These may be in the form of a local radio or television station broadcast, and/or a cellular Wireless Emergency Alert.
Emergency management and disaster preparedness information is located at the front section of telephone directories in all counties or online at ready.hawaii.gov.
To report siren operation issues on Hawaii Island call Hawaii County Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031.
