Re: “Municipalities review responses to better prepare for next time,” Jan. 25.
Having just spent 21 days in Kona, Hawaii, (220 hours of sunshine, two minutes of rain, one ballistic-missile alert, one townwide power outage and a tsunami advisory) it became abundantly clear that there is nowhere you can go in Kona or other coastal Hawaiian towns without encountering thorough and descriptive tsunami-evacuation routes.
These directions are built into almost every street sign at every intersection up to about 250 feet above sea level or so.
Oh yes, and piercing “air raid” style sirens that are audible everywhere — and tested once a month.
