Earthquake and tsunami are very similar in Hawaii and the probability of a large earthquake is low. There could be an explosive volcanic eruption but ongoing activity indicates that probability is low.

That is actually not true and a common mistake that people make. Those are emergency warning sirens. They are used to warn of any impending emergency not just a tsunami.
The following is an excerpt from the Hawaii.gov website.
"The siren test is a steady one minute tone on all sirens. The steady tone is used to alert the public to any emergency that may pose a threat to life and property. Besides natural hazards, the Emergency Alert System could be used for terrorist incidents or acts of war."
Edited to add the Hawaii.gov site info

This is the tsunami evacuation area, something like a 50 foot tsunami surge.
http://tsunami.csc.noaa.gov/#/
The sirens are up on poles, just outside of these tsunami inundation zones, another 50 feet up, to survive even an unusually large surge. Think about it, if was a general emergency alarm, why aren't there any up Saddle or any part of the interior? Constant mainland view transposition.

Talk about a "malahini meltdown". Your an ass even when you know your wrong. That is taken directly from the Hawaii.gov website. I guess that's the misinterpreted B.S. you're talking about.
The link you provided is how to deal with specific types of natural disasters. Look at the link I provided that deals specifically with the sirens.
You have some issues you need to deal with.....

What's truly funny is that the ones in Oregon actually ARE only for tsunami warnings. Must be that mainland transposition biteback...
...we are everywhere...

"Think about it, if was a general emergency alarm, why aren't there any up Saddle or any part of the interior?"
There are civil defense sirens in Pahoa, Ocean View Estates and Waimea. As for the Saddle, there's little point having a siren in an unpopulated area.

PS.
"These tsunami sirens for the east side are mainly for west coast earthquakes, from Alaska to Chile. It will take a major earthquake plus over 9 hours to get here."
The arrival time for a tsunami generated in Alaska is roughly five hours, not nine.

There aren't sirens in Mt. View, where there is population.

locations of sirens on Hawaii
Thanks alaskyn66.
My takeaway after looking at the map is people on the Big Island must hear a lot better than those on Oahu.
