Shouldn't US Pacific Command have their own CAP EAS/WEA program so they can send activations themselves instead of calling Hawaii Emergency Management? How long does that take and then how long does it take Hawaii EM to round up two people to send the activation.
"U.S. Reps. Colleen Hanabusa and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii sent a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee asking the panel to investigate whether a state emergency management agency should have jurisdiction over national security warnings.
The two Democrats questioned whether U.S. Pacific Command, which oversees all U.S. military forces in Hawaii and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, should have the authority and capability to unilaterally broadcast emergency messages, including overrides of false alerts." AP
