The New Tsunami Siren for the Heceta Beach Area. Located on 3rd Ave it seems to Alert the Neighborhood quite well, according to my neighbors. However it was reported that if you were inside running some kind of appliance vaccum cleaner or hair dryer you couldn't hear it. The City will be working on this.....
From the City's Website:Emergency Preparedness Officials will be conducting a TEST of the newly installed tsunami sirens on the last Friday of each month at 11:00 a.m. The next test is scheduled for Friday January 27th at 11:00 am. The test will not exceed 5 minutes and no action is required from the community. The test tone is one long steady sound. Please do not call 9-1-1. Should this be a real time event where an evacuation is ordered, the sirens would be activated and you would hear a wail tone. The wail tone will vary from high to low warble and run continuously for as long as needed. Once an “all clear” is ordered, the Winchester Chimes will sound for one minute, and then there will be a two minute grace period. This process will run a total of five sets.
