The Hawaiʻi Siren Map

Sat Aug 31, 2024 5:19 am

After months of researching, remarking & revising, I have finally finished making a custom mobile-compatible siren map for Hawaiʻi! This map features technical details for each siren, including the type of antenna used, the controller it operates on, and whether it has battery backup. I have also marked future siren locations from siren planning documents and noted where sirens have been removed or destroyed by wildfire, lava, etc.

For those who might not be familiar with the abbreviations I used on my siren map, here's a quick overview.

Antenna Types:
OMNI - Omnidirectional
COL - Collinear Omnidirectional
LP - Log Periodic
Yagi XE - Yagi X-Element

Siren Warning Strobe Lights:
QF - Quadraflare

Any feedback on the siren map is much appreciated! As it helps me develop better technical information descriptions & mapping styles.

Please note that some aspects of this siren map may not be entirely accurate, particularly regarding the installation years for older sirens.

With that, here's the siren map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

There is an issue with the Google Maps app, causing the circles not to display correctly. Therefore, I recommend viewing the map in a web browser to see the siren coverage radius circles.

The batteries for that siren were stolen. It is currently on a work order list to be repaired.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the map! I don't have any plans to make a Texas Siren Map, but it could be a future project. If you have any municipalities you're interested in, feel free to drop the name & I'll look into it.
