Siren tests are scheduled for Anini Beach Park, the Donkey Beach Parking Lot Area in Kealia, Waipouli Waikaea in Kapaa, Wailua Homestead Park, HP Faye Park in Kekaha, Kaumakani Park, and Omao Park.

Residents may hear the siren sound for 30-second to 3-minute intervals during the identified timeframe, and short blasts known as “burps.”
