[EAS] Radio and Maui: A Failure To Communicate?

[Bill Ruck]

Greg, Thanks.  Chris Leonard is at least 100% correct.

And this is one of the things I have said again and again.

When I was in the Navy we spent a lot of time (at times we thought too 
much time) training.  Fire Drills.  Man Overboard Drills.  Etc.

The bottom line is, though, when the excrement hits the ventilation 
system everybody knows exactly what has to be done.

But in the civilian world training takes time and costs money.  So it 
gets skipped.

While I don't think it is fair or even reasonable to Monday Morning 
Quarterback the emergency services people in Maui it is also extremely 
clear that they were not up to the job.
