Nine new and modernized sirens were recently installed in the following locations: ‘Aliomanu Estates, Isenberg Park, ‘Anini Beach, Kapa‘a High School, Kaua‘i Veterans Cemetery, Lihu‘e ballpark, Lydgate Beach Park, Shipwreck Beach and Vidinha Stadium. Older sirens are to be modernized on the island as well.
Sirens exist as part of Kauai's Civil Defense early warning system. They are tested on the 1st of every month. In the event that they do go off as a warning, stay calm, turn on the radio or the tv and follow the directions from county officials.
