House Reps: Hawaii Needs $650K to Fix Tsunami Warning Sirens

By /

Hawaii lawmakers want to add $650,000 to update and address issues with the state’s tsunami warning siren system.

The House passed the amended state budget on second reading Monday, cutting millions of dollars off the governor’s original request due to uncertainty over federal funds and union negotiations.

Offshore, the federally funded tsunami warning buoys that Hawaii relies on are ailing. Check out Civil Beat‘s story today on that issue by clicking here.
