Hawaii County Civil Defense will test emergency siren in Hakalau on Highway 19, north of mile marker 15 and Chin Chuck Road, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m Thursday.
Residents in this area may hear the siren sound for 30 seconds and technicians will use data gathered from this test to verify the siren is working. A car accident in 2011 damaged the Hakalau siren. Civil Defense replaced it with an upgraded siren with a half-mile radius, solar backup power and a composite pole with a lifetime warranty against termites and rot.
The monthly Emergency Alert System and Siren Warning System test will take place as normally scheduled on the first working day of the month, Jan. 2 at 11:45 a.m.
