Napier siren test at 12-noon

At midday today, Sunday 26 September 2010, Napier’s Civil Defence sirens will be activated as part of a routine test.

The sirens will sound (turn on and off) for approximately five minutes. Upon hearing the siren, the public are advised to turn on their radios and tune into a Hawke’s Bay radio station (i.e. Classic Hits 89.5FM, 92.7 More FM, National Radio 630AM or 101.5FM, Newstalk ZB 1278AM or Radio Live 1368AM).

Following the siren test residents are asked to complete a survey on the effectiveness of the test. This can be done via the Napier City Council website www.napier.govt.nz (keyword “siren”) or by filling out the survey in the Napier Mail on 22 or 29 September 2010. You will then be entered into a prize draw to win some great prizes.
