Hawaii has a robust emergency siren warning system. It sat silent during the deadly wildfires::Some Maui residents are questioning the effectiveness of the emergency warning system employed as the wildfires spread rapidly across Lahaina and other parts on Tuesday. Hawaii’s attorney general is leading a review of the emergency response.
Wasn’t that due to someone manually activating it because they thought there was an actual credible threat?
Might be misremembering though.
Sort of, it was during an unscheduled drill and even though they said it was a test before the message they read said “this is not a drill” and an employee sent the message.

Just think, the same mistake could’ve happened the opposite way.
