A new outdoor emergency system to alert residents of disasters was put to the test May 27 in Laguna Beach, Calif.

“Nothing presents a greater risk to our public safety than a wildfire or a major earthquake,” Laguna Beach Mayor Bob Whalen said in a statement. “This outdoor emergency warning system will save lives in the event of a major disaster.”
