Tsunami Siren Test,Sunday 29 September, 11am
The sirens, which are located along the coastline between Brooklands and Taylors Mistake, will sound for up to three minutes as part of a bi-annual exercise that checks they are operating correctly. People should not be alarmed to hear the sirens going off and don’t need to evacuate. This is a routine test of the siren warning system and good reminder to people in coastal and riverside areas that they should have an evacuation plan in place, so that everyone in the family knows what to do and where to go if there is a tsunami evacuation.
