And whats changed to make sure this never happens again, and i hope we will take positive steps to enact the many lessons learned. Now for our part as legislators, i, myself, believe that we should hold ourselves accountable to make sure that when we send our in our schools to seek shelter and our people to government buildings to seek refuge that these safe shelters really do provide safe shelter from catastrophe anywhere from a Nuclear Attack or a hurricane. So with that i welcome the governor, and governor, i thank you for asking us for the opportunity to attend this briefing. Governor . Good morning, members of the house and senate committee. Thank you for allowing me to be here today. I appreciate your effort to understand what happened last saturday, and i have directed the state department of defense and the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency to be fully transparent and forthcoming as they provide you with information about this incident. I have charged general logan to provide you with specific information about why we added Ballistic Missile planning and training to the states all hazard protocols. We do until it is important for us as we move forward. I have instructed general miyagi to provide you with specific information about what exactly happened on saturday morning and i have directed general hara to provide you with his preliminary thoughts on the action plan he is developing so we emerge from this stronger than we were a week ago. All of us agree the time lapse to send a second cell phone message was unacceptable. We have implemented changes already to ensure that this will not happen again. General miyagi will provide you with a detailed time line of that day including the action of the agency to Contact Media, fema, hpd and others. As you know, i have issued an executive order tasking general hara with conducting a review and to provide me with initial recommendations in 30 days. We will make changes as issues are identified. Going forward, i have directed my cabinet, an emergency mana Management Agency to prepare this effort so everyone will be able to understand what they need to do to keep themselves and their families safe. In closing, let me emphasize improvements to the system have already been implemented to ensure that an event like saturday will not happen again. With that, i am open to tyke questions. Thank you, governor for agreeing to answer questions. I know that youre on a tight time limitation so well open to questions beginning with our Committee Chairs followed by Committee Members alternating between house and senate and we hope to conclude this briefing in time for senators to attend their floor session at 11 30 so well try to limit questions to one question each and well begin with representative ito followed by senator nishihara. Thank you, mr. Chairman. You know, i have a question right here when did paycom detect a Missile Launch . Chairman, was there never a Missile Launch so paycom did not ever detect a Missile Launch. Okay. Walk us this question is not for you, governor. General miyagi. Yes, theyll be going through the specific notification process. Okay. Okay. Senatorish in hara followed by representative la pressa. Thank you, chair and thank you, governor. Here we go. What are the corrections that have been made to the program and have been accomplished to make sure it would not be a repeat of saturdays wrong message transmittal . General miyagi can cover that in more specific detail. We have already programmed an automated response to send a false alert and cancel alert message immediately so if a missile alert is sent to cell phones and other media the staff would have the ability to send an immediate cancel. That has already been programmed and implemented in the system. The representative will be followed by senator kim. Thank you, chair. Governor, thanks for being here. One of the questions i have for you is looking at maybe emergency use of funds for things like getting a Better Communications array installed at diamondhead crater, so, for example, on the day of, he was one of the guys that came out on tv and you guys gave them information in a somewhat timely fashion and then they couldnt get it out and its a hardened area for good reasons, but are there any plans to use emergency funds to make sure we get Good Communications there so that the media could get the word out. Certainly, that was one of the lessons that we heard on saturday that the Communications Infrastructure from the Emergency Operation center is not the most modern and certainly that is one of those short comings that have been identified that we need to improve. Thank you for the question. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Senator kim followed by representative tokyoka. Good morning, senator. Good morning. My question is more of a broader view. When this plan to alert the public regarding a potential missile on its way, was there a plan that was devised prior to the rollout as to what would happen and whats the plan for people once they get this arc letter . Because if one was prepared for an alert of this nature. So before rolling Something Like this out, and the other part of the consequences, and will there be consequences . Thank you for that question. We have been engaging in a Public Education campaign to inform the public about what action they should take should the alert occur. We definitely know that we need to do more and expand and reach to more people and we would look to work with you and the legislature as well as all of our community and part of the plans to engage the Business Community so they are clear about what should be sounded and we definitely know. That more work needs to be done in order to make sure that everyone regardless of where they are understands what actions should be taken. An alert be sounded. Shouldnt that have come prior to instituting this alert because bus drivers were sending people off the busses. Stores were kicking people out. People were driving madly down the road. Nobody knew what to do with 12 minutes to get home. So before implementing such a major alert like that. Shouldnt there be a plan . Senator, we do have a plan and we have been implementing a Public Information campaign. Definitely we do need to do a better job of that, and i think that is part of what we have on task. General hara was working through on your second question and we do have an investigation under way on the specific circumstances of what happened on saturday and once that is completed we will take appropriate action. Representative tokyoka followed by senator akai. Thank you very much for being here and we know its been a whole, stressful week for you and your team. Some of the questions that i wanted to ask and ill stick to the first one is when they found out that it was a mistake that the wrong computer button was pressed with the mouse, when they found that out, why did it take 15 minutes [ no audio ] to clear it and send the other message out to the general public because if it happened and they found out it was a mistake, why couldnt it have been done sooner to alert everybody that it was a false alarm, and there was a false alarm and im sure in 15 minutes time its not something that happened before and whoever did it and the Team Involved and its kind of, what do we do now mode and i think one of the things that happened is that everybody is now aware that we better be prepared we were not prepared. So why did it take 15 minutes to get the word out that it was a false alarm . Certainly, representative that general miyagi would be a detailed timeline of the effort made to Contact Media and others. You know, im not exactly and my cell phone exploded and making calls for the members and the Emergency Management team and receiving incoming calls and making calls to various members that i believe needed, so clearly we are going to leave this program at this point. Obviously, we are having technical issues with it. We will record the program and have it in its entirety later on the cspan networks. This weekend on American History tv on cspan3, saturday at 8 00 p. M. Eastern on lectures in history. Depaul University Professor on president abraham lincolns portrayal in art and photographs.
