Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency launches online reporting tool for monthly siren tests

LĪHU‘E — The Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency (KEMA) has launched a new online reporting tool, allowing residents and businesses to assist in monitoring the monthly statewide outdoor warning siren tests.

The survey is live, and residents and business can access the survey through the following link on the County’s website: https://www.kauai.gov/Government/Departments-Agencies/Emergency-Management-Agency [ https://www.kauai.gov/Government/Departments-Agencies/Emergency-Management-Agency?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. Participation in the survey is voluntary.

The tool will help ensure the proper operation of the Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System, which is owned by the Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) and tested on the first business day of each month at 11:45 a.m.

“We encourage everyone, especially those who live or work near sirens, to report whether they heard the siren or noticed any malfunctions,” said KEMA Administrator Elton Ushio. “Community feedback is critical to maintaining a reliable alert system. This is an opportunity for residents and businesses to play an active role in disaster preparedness.”

In addition to confirming whether a siren was heard, the survey allows users to report issues such as unusual or unclear sounds, failure to activate, or visible damage. These reports will help KEMA and HI-EMA improve the system’s effectiveness in alerting the public during emergencies.

The monthly test features a one-minute steady tone, known as the Attention Alert Signal, and is coordinated with the Live Audio Broadcast segment of the Emergency Alert System.

If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, contact KEMA at 808-241-1800 or KEMA@kauai.gov as soon as possible. Requests made as early as possible will allow adequate time to fulfill your request. Upon request, this notice is available in alternate formats such as large print, Braille, or electronic copy.
