•Today, 15 Sep 2010 is Civil Defence Day. As part of the SCDF’s public education efforts aimed at familiarising the public with the three Public Warning System and to raise general awareness on how the public should react upon hearing each signal, there will be an islandwide sounding of the Public Warning System at 1205 hrs.
•The SCDF will be sounding the “Important Message” signal through the island-wide network of PWS sirens. Students and staff are advised not to be alarmed by the minute-long sounding exercise.
•Immediately after the sounding of the “Important Message” signal, the school will tune in to one of the local radio stations to listen to a special infomercial broadcast and learn more about the various PWS signals.
•Huayians are strongly encouraged to participate in this exercise by taking note of the important information being put forward.
