Outdoor Warning System Siren Test: Sunday, September 29th
Following a period of devastating wildfires in California in 2017 and 2018, the City Council approved plans for the installation of 12 citywide Outdoor Warning System Sirens.
When activated, the sirens will issue audible messages in multiple languages that will inform the community when danger may be approaching and whether they need to take shelter indoors or evacuate the area.
Throughout the year, the City will also be TESTING the sirens periodically to ensure they are operating successfully.
Our first test will take place on Sunday, September 29th as part of our ‘Just in Case, BH’ event held at Roxbury Park and will go off a little after 3 p.m.
During this event, three of our sirens will be activated for a few minutes with an audible test message.
The City’s large, full-scale test of ALL 12 sirens will take place on Thursday, October 17th at 10:30 a.m. to coincide with the nationwide emergency campaign, the Great ShakeOut.
Remember, you do not need to take any action during these tests.

The City's Hotline will be activated on Sunday, September 29th from 2 pm to 4:30 pm at (310) 550-4680.

Traffic will be impacted.
