We all need to take a look into HOW the "system" did NOT work!
Some of the sirens went off, others did not, a few radio & TV stations had a broadcast alert, others did not, some phone services & types had an alert, others did not, some got an emailed alert, others did not..
Some employers & institutions instituted the recommended "Shelter in place" procedures, other employers did not, INCLUDING Hilo Post Office, which sent their employee HOME!.
This was NOT a system that worked
This was, at best, a very hard drill, a least, more of a keystone cops routine of systems failures that lead up to a whole lotta mistakes that were made!
My only hope is that there is a comprehensive review of what & how these systems failed at different levels...
