California Report
features an interview with James Goltz, head of the earthquake and tsunami program for the governer’s Office of Emergency Services.

The tsunami warning failed. My family perished.
I’m a work-from-home parent who doesn’t have the TV or radio on when the kid is home or when I’m working (basically, no broadcast media until after 7 p.m.). Our survival is pinned on disaster striking after dinner, but before bedtime.
We don’t have sirens anywhere in the county? I swear I heard one during the last tsunami scare a year or so ago.
