Honolulu – Today, Mayor Caldwell announced a series of six town hall meetings that will be held across Oahu during the month of May.

All meetings will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and the schedule is as follows:

 

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- The Civil Defense monthly
test of the statewide outdoor siren warning system, coordinated with the test
of the live audio broadcast segment of the Emergency Alert System, is scheduled
for Wednesday, May 1, at 11:45 a.m.

Mailani Wendt, an eighth grader at Kapolei Middle School, will read
the Emergency Alert System live audio broadcast for the month of May. Mailani
is the winner of the jointly-sponsored Tsunami Awareness poster contest, which
asked Hawaii students in grades K-12 to draw posters showing where they would
go in the event of a tsunami.

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. Besides natural
hazards, the Emergency Alert System could be used for terrorist incidents or
acts of war.
