The all-hazard outdoor warning sirens will sound a one-minute attention alert signal across the state at 11:45 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 2.
The monthly sire test will be done at the same time as a live audio broadcast segment of the emergency alert system. There will be no exercise or drill accompanying the test.
The all-hazard outdoor siren warning system is 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.
Wireless emergency alerts deliver sound-and-text warnings to compatible mobile cellular phones. The emergency alert system and wireless emergency alert notifications are sent via the integrated public alert and warning system, which is the nation’s alert and warning infrastructure, managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Emergency management and disaster preparedness information may be found in the “Get Ready” section of ready.hawaii.gov, as well as in the front section of telephone directories in most counties.
