- vel0city 3y agoWildfires can move incredibly quickly when you're in the path and can change direction extremely rapidly. If you're inside it could be very easy to not know one is coming until it's too late.

Evacuate along the coast where they are safer from fire but at risk from tsunami, or evacuate inland into the fires?
- macinjosh 3y agoNot Tsunami sirens. Emergency sirens. Their rules said it could be used for any calamity.
- Johnny555 3y agoWhen I lived on Oahu, my landlord told me that if the sirens go off, follow the evacuation route and head to higher ground. I've never heard anyone talk about them in the context of any other emergency warning.
