Hawaii Tests Nuclear Attack Warning Siren

[@HayastAnFedayi]

The air raid nuclear attack siren is one of the scariest sounds ever imo

[@Dazzalinco1]

How bad would it be if on the exact day of testing a tsunami was detected?

[@sfs2040]

Dazzalinco1 Usually testing is cancelled on days of potential threat. Even if they're not, the testing is done at the same time every time, so if it sounded again outside the test window, people would at least be alerted to look into it. Leading into that is the 3rd thing, cell phones, TV, and radio can all also be used to keep the public alerted. Sirens are just a peice of the puzzle. Not the only part.

[@cesariojpn]

11:45AM on the first Business Day of the month is the test time given out by HIEMA. Any other times it's either the real deal, or some stupid gecko short circuited the circuit board.

[@EssaiGD]

Then they should send a second alert out.

[@aussiegod4269]

They would tell you this is not a drill

[@capie44]

I often thought just how a terrorist would time the blast to go off at noon on the 3rd...

[@sqwiggs]

my town uses the nuclear warning siren when there is fires haha

[@crucifix9493]

Sqwiggs so does mine

[@MatthewSmith-sz1yq]

Your town doesn't happen to have a nuclear plant nearby? Cuz if so, that might make some sense.

[@Keju05]

Sqwiggs rip

[@LB2234]

It's not just for nuclear attacks in most cases. My county will use sirens to summon firefighters, ems personnel, warn of a tornado, and also use sirens to warn of emergencies at the nearby electrical plants.

[@SimMaster]

same, western Pennsylvania is all like this. We'll never know if the world is ending or if someone just burned a house down

[@elliottday2415]

Shouldn’t California have these?

[@quack5003]

tom__eddsworld there is one in Riverdale but it had seen better days

[@IdealUser]

We have them but they look like they've never been used and long since abandoned. My mother said she hasn't heard them test since the 60s.

[@brucesrandomlife2951]

[@federalsignal3t22tornadosi5]

Yes they should because where I live I saw a couple sirens like a Sth 10 a 2001 Srn and a dc and a modular 2008 and a 6024

[@hkennemer1]

Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Newport beach all have working and monthly tested coastal sirens, I live in Huntington beach and they go off on the last friday of every month

[@kentogo9747]

THX. Just keep the 2 sounds in my mind.

[@MrScottie68]

Now the other 49 states have to also bring back civil defense and start educating the public....being prepared can never be looked down upon!

[@sfs2040]

MrScottie68 In Wisconsin at least our sirens are still tested and used regularly. Mainly the first one, which is used for severe weather, but a few times a year we do get the alternating wail that indicates an attack.

[@east8369]

theres only one or two sirens in my state. but its on the western side of the state and im on the eastern part

[@josedilone9530]

ny does we test all everyday at 12 pm

[@amtrakisveryepic]

Phoenix AZ doesn't have any sirens.

[@SimWolfe]

Thats because you don't have commie libtards imposing this shit on you. This is waste of money.

[@lukecole621]

For the people who don't know why the Nuclear Attack Warning tone is now being tested again, it was from North Korean missile launches launching over Japan and missing Japan 1200 miles off the coast. It is now being tested in case any other country either decides to do the exact same thing or if North Korea attempts to yet again fire a missile.

[@FrixionTheWeatherdude]

Yeah but this is Hawai'i

[@lukecole621]

@ItsFrixionn yea, and it's cuz they think it's gonna get launched closer to the U.S, which is why they are testing it monthly

[@sunlesshawaii]

I hear this every month it isnt that loud

[@ijboljayfeather]

I remember hearing the tsunami siren often on the 1st of every month. I lived in Hawaii and heard it about 30 times. I never heard the nuclear one though; I was on a military base. For some reason, this siren is considered very scary, I was scared of it the first few times and after an incident when they went off for an active shooter. However, it was on a different base, which my base had a connected siren system to, and since I was at friend's house with her and my sister (And no adults to tell us it was ok) we went into a school-style lockdown, hiding in the kitchen which had no windows. That experience was *SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* fun.

[@dennissvitak6453]

- I was career Air Force, stationed at Chanute AFB, Illinois, around 1985. Friday at 1:30 pm was the routine weekly test of the alert sirens - PEACETIME. This was the wavering tone you hear in the video above. One nice, sunny day, I am sitting at my desk, and the sirens went off..Friday, 1:30 pm, but it was the ATTACK warning siren. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK!!! I immediately called the Wing Command post, to let them know that some dummy had pushed the wrong button. Oops. Weirdly, no one else even had a second thought about this, and this was a military base!!! I can only wonder what would happen in a city. Would most simply ignore an attack warning siren? I think so.

Imagine how badly the neclear attack warning scared some people because it hasn’t been played since the Cold War... a lot of people wouldn’t recognize it and think it was the apocalypse

[@vassiliss8506]

In Greece, the nuclear attack warning is used in electromechanical sirens to warn for incoming air attacks in general

[@Yog-slagunar]

Nuke warning alarm.... Let me just go to my nuke secure bu... oh wait... WELL thanks for the warning anyway

[@ElseAndrecool]

I remember hearing these when I lived in town and I used to think they where a building next door testing their fire alarm for some reason

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

You probably have a siren that’s been always tested by a kid

[@rod4801]

[@thatvierkid]

DJ Quack How??

[@mugwump242]

Is it at noon? That's common in small towns across the US. Usually it's the siren that calls out the volunteer firefighters. If it's an actual emergency, the siren cycles up and down multiple times. If it's the "noon whistle," the siren alert is shorter - usually just one cycle. Technically, it's not a test. It's more of a community timekeeping thing... just letting the town know it's midday (like how, in cities, a clock tower with a bell might strike the hours). It's more of a tradition than anything (but you're right that it also, as a side effect, tests the system).

[@SongsForSorrows]

I used the Wailing tone as my alarm. Woke me up good.

[@__________________________Fred]

Kinda scary when you realise that when you ever get to hear that sound and there is a nuke coming for you you get to listen to that menacing sound until your face gets one with the sidewalk.

[@rkkastarshina3989]

In germany, we all have the old air raid sirens from the cold war (1957-present) which go off saturdays every two weeks, they are being used to warn from the fire department rolling out to a fire but thats a different signal, meanwhile the air raid siren is constantly whining sound going up and down. Air raid signal is really scary, if it wasn't a drill.

are sirens located in secluded places but close enough to towns or villages to warn citizens..

The steady tone is used for hurricanes as well as tsunamis.

[@nathano6118]

The siren you're talking about is a common siren used around the US; the Federal Q. It comes in different pitches for different vents, such as this one for a nuclear attack.

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

I was on the beach during the March tsunami test siren. The 1st of every month at 11:45. They didn't test the Putin attack siren though

The Hawaii Siren sounds very Erie because I don't hear them as often I'm only from North East in NJ by Atlantic Ocean but I think Wildwood Crest NJ or Atlantic city NJ has the same Model as Hawaii does but the other day I did hear the Siren go off for a Minute for a Noon Test but in the my Town in New Milford NJ my Fire Department has Gamewell Diaphones for Fire calls for Fire and Rescue and Noon test but unfortunately we only use it for Fire calls for Company 1 down at the Fire house Company 2 has a Federal Siren use for Fire signal but there its short round not like how Long Island NY in large cities are with horns and Sirens

[@thespecialist25]

Sounds so cool.

[@YourAverageMODude145]

[@markussimicak104]

A siren’s main purpose is to sound when there’s something outside that can kill you. While they sound for things like nuclear attacks, that’s not it’s main purpose.

[@fuhwurd]

Markus Simičak it actually is its main purpose

[@markussimicak104]

CivilDefenseTransmitter I’m pretty sure they get way more tsunami’s than nuclear strikes in Hawaii... this isn’t the 1950’s anymore where we have a drill every day

[@fuhwurd]

[@markussimicak104]

CivilDefenseTransmitter so you’re saying you get more nuclear strikes and or are at a higher risk of a nuclear strike than a tsunami?
