They are tested at noon every Tuesday. During the weekly test, the
siren emits a single 15-second alert tone, similar to an emergency
vehicle siren. In the event of a disaster, the 15-second alert tone
will sound repeatedly for 5 minutes.
If you hear the siren at a time other than during its regular test
on Tuesday at Noon:
• Stop what you are doing.
• Stay calm.
• Listen for possible voice announcements.
• Turn on the radio or television (such as KCBS 740AM, KQED
88.5 FM) for important information provided by the City.
• Avoid using the telephone. Do not call 9-1-1, unless you have
a life-threatening emergency.
