Some thoughts -
Those with warning information have no idea what, if anything,
Citizens are using to receive the information
They may be completely disconnected from all electronic form of
communication
Therefore they need to use - ALL available means.
If indeed broadcasters had to reach out to EM to be able to relay official
information
This is very sad commentary on the state of the LECC in that area
There is no law/requirement for citizens to remain connected to a
Means for receiving emergency warnings
In the event of a rapidly developing emergency, earthquake etc.,
There is very little time to warn, with a very small percentage of citizens
able
to receive the warning.
There will be plenty of finger-pointing and blame - This is routine
For events like this.
Will everyone be better prepared for next-time? We will see.
