The tests will run between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Kapoho Vacationland, Waa Waa, Hawaiian Beaches, and Hawaiian Paradise Park in Puna.
During the test periods, residents may hear the siren between six to eight times for 30-second to one-minute intervals. Short blasts, also known as “burps,” will also occur as part of the testing.
