Attempts to redirect blame to faulty procedures and policies is starting to seem like a weak argument when it really comes down to poor leadership and lack of foresight, which is a stretch to pin on a single person.
That said, I think the intentional choice to not use sirens was likely a good call in this case and an example of good leadership. If the community is conditioned to recognize the sirens for tsunami’s only maybe that’s where the reform should start. If they CAN be used for other things, can they have different sounds for different things. It doesn’t need to be complicated.
