This “accident” begs the question -

Why have an alert if you have not taken the time to inform the public what actions should be.

Why have an alert if a proper civil defense system has not been set up to be prepared for the aftermath of a real attack?

Why have an alert if there are no shelters prepared for people to go to?

I grew up in the 1950s - once a week we had an air raid siren go off. Because of the “duck and cover” classes we had in school I knew (even as a child) what to do if under an attack. (Would such training saved everyone? No, but I am sure many would have survived by following the simple instructions.

We also had air raid shelters in every public building as well as many private businesses.

A 20 minute window is not very big but if there was a real attack, with prior knowledge many would survive that would die because our government is incompetent (oh, that is right, Hawaii is a one party state run by Democrats - of course it is incompetent)

Grew up in the same era in Washington, D.C. Had a CD siren tower in our elementary school yard, as well as signs pointing to the basement shelter. The school had drills marching us down the stairs to fallout shelter, filled with OD painted drums.

Some of the signs we saw in every public space on field trips.
