A tornado wiped out my town when I was nine. the local authorities never activated the tornado sirens. Killed something like 18 people in a clustered area. the people that died trusted the government to warn them whereas the people who survived took it upon themselves to maintain awareness of their surroundings. Do not put your kids lives in danger because you're offloading that responsibility to bureaucrats. In the case of Maui the Disaster Emergency lead was a crony that got the job for political reasons. He didn't know what he was doing, and just like with my local city, he failed to alert those in the city of the impending doom. Moral of the story is nobody cares about you and your family more than yourself.
