Sirens and Disaster Preparedness

[Carey]

Deb....Seeb wrote "the bottom HPPOA LOTS at Makuu & Kaloli" not at the BOTTOM of Makuu & Kaloli.....

IE: the HPPOA are the association owned lots.... Are you SURE that they are not within these large community owned lots?

If you look at the total siren distribution, you will notice that much of this island is NOT covered.... If you are in an area that does not have siren distribution, the county also has other ways of notification (including emergency radio & auto telephone list that was references in the posts a few months ago...)

Most rural areas around the US do not have CD sirens & HPP is an agricultural (ie RURAL) subdivision, that is why there are other programs for rural areas.

The one on Makuu in HPP is actually at Makuu and 6th.
More specifically: 19Deg35'12.54"N 154Deg56'34.12"W

Well, if more data are what you're after, we heard the siren and police visited as well. I'm on A road on Kaloli Point. I assume the siren we heard was #2 in HPP, don't think we could have heard #1. I can't remember exactly where that siren is other than it's just off Kaloli, I think maybe Kaloli and 2nd, but could be off by a couple of intersections. During tests it is not always easy to hear and if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction and I have the TV on or am listening to music, it's very difficult to hear. That night it was quite loud but wouldn't be surprised if it was hard to hear on Paradise Ala Kai Drive.

I am going to take the list on July 8th and give it to Harry Kim when we meet on our VHNW Disaster Preparedness brochure. I figure Harry has a **little** more **clout** with Civil Defense than me! LOL

I really appreciate PunaWebbers assistance regarding the sirens.

I am also going to try to prepare a list of the comments, especially from the group in HPP to help your wheel stay squeaky.

So I will ask - anyone else heard any of these sirens on July 1, 2011 that havent been marked?

I should add that Carey is right. I received notice of the tsunami just as I was going to bed in California. In essence, I "heard" the siren 2500 miles away on my iPhone. I received notice from Hawaii Civil Defense, turned on the television, tried unsuccessfully to reach my guests on the house phone, called a contact on island to arrange for accommodations for my guests, and then tried to reach my guests on their cell phone. Robo-calls from Hawaii Civil Defense are an important way of getting the message out. It did not work for my guests though, as they did not hear the siren or get a call from Hawaii Civil Defense. The police came.
