I would think that before the power shut down procedure was set, that all those who used life saving medical equipment would be prepared with automatic power generators. Of course, the way the Leftnics run things in the Hawaiian Islands, those needing medical equipment would be on their own on how to prepare.
True perhaps but for those subsisting on Medicare or Medicaid, I don’t think the cost of automatic power generators is covered and they are, as I understand, can be quite expensive and probably out of reach for many.
It is also my understanding that the fires started late at night and spread very rapidly because of the high winds.
Sort of a catch-22 - cut off the power as soon as possible after the winds reach a certain speed likely to cause sparking powerlines or wait and give it more time to try to notify people who were likely asleep. Sound the sirens that many might have thought a tsunami warning and confused on where to go?
I don’t know if the extent of high winds were anticipated ahead of time, if so the authorities and the power company could have given advanced warning of the power being cut off?
