HONOLULU- The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), together with the City and County of Honolulu Department of Emergency Management, conducted siren testing at Waialae Beach Park Friday 8-9-2019 at about 130 PM. This replaces a Thunderbolt.
Residents nearby may hear the siren sound for 30-seconds to 3-minute intervals during the identified timeframe. Testing will include short blasts known as “burps”. During the tests, Emergency Management Officials and Technicians will be checking the functionality of the sirens.
These sirens were installed as part of HI-EMA’s ongoing Outdoor Warning Siren Program. Other sirens will be updated, and new sirens installed, at various locations across the state under this Program.
The Outdoor Siren Warning System for Public Safety is one part of Hawaii’s Statewide Alert & Warning System used to notify the public during pending emergencies.
HI-EMA encourages the public to make use of other supplemental methods of warning including, but not limited to, signing up for the HNL.INFO mass text notification system and utilizing NOAA Weather Radio.
Listed below are the time stamps for each signal.
