Maile Alert System Test Has Technical Issues Print E-mail
Written by KGMB9 News - news@kgmb9.com

There were some transmission problems with a test of the Maile Alert System today. Information sent from Maui Police scrolled across signs in newsrooms across the state around 12:30 this afternoon. 45 minutes later than it was supposed to.

And Kauai did not receive the message at all.

Some also reported the audio message was difficult to understand.

Maui County Civil Defense will discuss and try to resolve the problems tomorrow.

The Maile-Amber alert system was launched in Hawaii in 2003 to help find missing children.
