The City Department of Emergency Management in conjunction with Hawaii State Civil Defense will test two outdoor warning sirens on Friday, November 18, 2011. The sirens are located at:
Ewa Beach Shopping Center from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM
Ahuimanu from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
The test is being conducted to ensure that the siren is operating at full power and providing optimal audible range.
Residents and businesses in the surrounding communities may hear the steady or warbling siren tone during the test and should not be alarmed.
Hawaii State Civil Defense funds the purchase and installation of these sirens. Once they are installed, they are released to the City for monthly testing and emergency activation.
