The monthly test of the statewide outdoor siren warning system is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 11:45 a.m.
The Siren Test is a steady one minute tone on all sirens. The steady tone is used to alert the public to any emergency that may pose a threat to life and property. There’s also an message that will sound on TV and radio stations. Again, this is only a test.
Tests of civil defense sirens and the Emergency Alert System are conducted simultaneously, normally on the first working day of the month, in cooperation with Hawaii’s broadcasting industry.
Civil defense disaster preparedness information is located in the front section of telephone directories in all counties.
