The interface to send out a missile alert in Hawaii is hilariously bad
Posted by Street Hawk on 1/17/18 at 9:47 am111
quote:
It appears the employee who sent out the mobile and broadcast missile alert that sent Hawaii into a panic for 38 minutes on Saturday was supposed to choose "DRILL - PACOM (CDW) - STATE ONLY" but instead chose "PACOM (CDW) - STATE ONLY" from an unordered list of equally unintuitive and difficult-to-read options.
The Honolulu Civil Beat noted in a story on Sunday that the employee who made the choice from the nearly unintelligible list has been temporarily reassigned within the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), and his status at the agency will be decided after a review. The news outlet wrote that according to Emergency Management Agency Administrator Vern Miyagi, the employee "felt terrible about the mistake."

The employee is almost as stupid as the people kneejerking saying Trump was to blame for the error.

He was probably trying to send out a high surf notification for the north shore

I'm sure this system also cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to set up.

maybe. or maybe the system worked exactly as it should. when a missle is in the air be it ours or theirs, someone needs to send out the alert.

That ancient, crytic, Babylonian cyrillic would make even the millennialist of tweeting millennials blush.

I think it would be a damn shame if someone lost their job over this; the employee is a scapegoat, the real negligent party is whoever designed this arse-backwards UI.

I still can’t believe that the explanation was that a wrong button was pushed. One would think that there would be more than one layer of things to go through to send out a warning like that so that this kind of incident doesn’t happen.
