Release No. 2023-002<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HONOLULU<\/strong> – The O\u2018ahu-based sirens that are part of the State of Hawaii\u2019s All-Hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning system sounded four minutes early, at 11:41 a.m. HST, for the regularly scheduled test on Jan. 3, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sirens on all other islands sounded at the regularly scheduled test time, 11:45 a.m. Residents and visitors on O\u2018ahu heard the sirens go off both early and for an unusually long time. There was no emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initial investigation by the Hawai\u2018i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) found no source in our alert systems, nor action by our personnel, that caused the early activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Department of Emergency Management with the City and County of Honolulu has announced that it is conducting its own review into the cause of the activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (An earlier version of this news release erroneously reported that sirens sounded twice on O\u2018ahu. Although sirens in the network did sound twice, at 11:41 a.m. and 11:45 a.m., those activations took place on different islands. This version has been corrected.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n # # #<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adam Weintraub adam.b.weintraub@hawaii.gov Tuesday, January 3, 2023 Release No. 2023-002 HONOLULU – The O\u2018ahu-based sirens that are part of the State of Hawaii\u2019s All-Hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning system sounded four minutes early, at […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":153,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"7350,7613,7112,8183,7228,8098","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[355,351],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-355","category-news-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7147"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15605,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7147\/revisions\/15605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dod.hawaii.gov\/hiema\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
