Apparently, more than a few people missed this news from last month:
The article states the funding is for Oahu and the BI. It says 6 new locations were going to be added and 10 sirens were being replaced. It's doubtful that funding has shown up yet and these tests are only confirming areas that need covering and replacement of failed sirens.
It's also extremely misguided to satisfy some finger-pointing need at Kenoi when the sirens come under Hawaii State Civil Defense and Hawaii State Civil Defense comes under Department of Homeland Security.
