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

[Kelly Alford]

But how does one anticipate, let alone predict a hurricane hitting an island
that doesn't include any moisture in an unusually hot and dry year?  There
are likely millions of scenarios just like this one that can't be
anticipated, let alone planned-for other than based on history of a
particular geography.  Emergency planning and associated funding is all
based on history and trends.

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.

I suspect there is some ' Because it's never happened, it won't'  Thinking
going on.
