there is no way the alert system didn't already have a two person (at least) multi layered fail safe program in place to prevent accidental alerts.
Mmmm, yeah that's giving way too much credit for planning to just about any system, let alone a Hawaii government one. Lots of computer people were sharing stories of poor design in the wake of this. E.g., the "reboot mainframe" button right next to the "automatic door open" button; single-key commands where R=rewind tape, E=erase tape (look at where they are on a keyboard), etc.
