The City of Pacifica has installed outdoor tsunami warning sirens in the West Sharp Park and West Rockaway Beach areas. These sirens will be used to alert the public of a possible tsunami or other emergency. The warning sirens will be tested at a reduced volume simultaneously on the first Wednesday of every month at 10:00am and will last for 15 seconds. In an actual emergency, the alert tone will continue for 3-5 minutes. Should this occur, the public should remain calm, listen for possible voice announcements, tune into local radio/TV (i.e., KCBS 740AM/KQED 88.5FM) for instructions, avoid using the telephone and only call 911 for life-threatening emergencies. Citizens are encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts via cell phone/pager/email at www.smcalert.info.
