This is a coordinated test of the Emergency Alert System for broadcast stations in Hawaii.

Hawaii's warning sirens are used to alert the public to any emergency that may pose a threat to life or property. The sound of the sirens is to alert residents to turn on a radio or television for information and instruction for an impending emergency. Instruction may also be provided by a cellular Wireless Emergency Alert. Hawaii Emergency Management Officials recommends residents prepare an emergency kit of a minimum of 14 days of food, water, medical, and other essential supplies. Always be prepared.
