All four members of Hawaii’s congressional delegation urged the U.S. military Thursday to take responsibility for alerting the public about any future ballistic missile attacks, taking that role away from the state, which botched the job in January.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Interesting.
Thanks for the post.
Also interesting: the National Capitol Region's test of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) System on Thursday, April 5th.
A lot of phones were buzzing.
The alert messages were issued by local jurisdictions, not the states, based on cell towers and GPS information.
Performance data is still being collected.

To me this would just be plain wrong. Civilian authorities must stay in control of emergency services; they just need to stop placing unqualified hacks in responsible positions or they will get more of the same. We get what we vote for, if they don't know what they're doing: God help us.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I agree with you: The military is much better equipped to fulfill emergency operations for civilians and/or states. The problem is where do you draw the like? It’s very convenient in Hawaii’s situation and their Delegation/politicians don’t want the responsibility of managing emergency operations. When we think about this we can say the same for every state in the Union. Do we want the Guard and/or active military managing all emergency situations? I don’t think so.
We must hold our elected official’s feet to the fire to get professional staff in all positions. If they can’t, don’t know how too, or are just too lazy… they shouldn’t have accepted the position of responsibility. In my opinion: having the military in charge of emergency services brings us a step closer to where we don’t want our country to be.
