Deborah, HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE CD NOTIFICATION (I have mentioned this in past threads)
If you have not PLEASE do so! If you have already, did the notification work?
The County CANNOT supply sirens for each & every property owner... yes, by the ocean would seem to make sense, but there may be many issues that make it less viable, things link salt corrosion & background noise & wind such.... there are also areas that may have volcanic emergencies that may also be in areas that may not be good for siren installation....
PLEASE help the county by utilizing the services they offer for all of us, and remember, after listening to what happened out east just last night & watching the 3/1`1 tsunami live... when you live in an ocean flood zone, YOU MUST BE ABLE & READY TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS WITHOUT RELYING ON THE COUNTY TO TELL YOU WHAT RO DO....
ADDED: If you live out of the flood zone, have you offered space to others within the flood zone?
Do you have provisions if our lifeline transportation are taken out? (remember where all of the public transportation for this county are located... within the proximity of the inundation zone...since we have been here Hilo & Kawaihae harbors have both been damaged & ships scuttled, Hilo due to storm surge & Kawaihae due to tsunami)
Have you thought about what would happen if storm intensity, duration & frequency increase in the next few years?
Do you have a hurricane plan, just in case?
