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. Social Media The Society staff will be updating its Facebook page, Twitter feed, and Blog with Annual Meeting information throughout the meeting. Follow us on:
