Kauai schools to host huge tsunami drill Friday

Advertiser Staff

At 9:45 a.m. Friday, a community-supported tsunami school-evacuation drill will take place in Kekaha involving four schools and 550 students and supported by local businesses and government offices.

Officials at the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Air National Guard, Marine Corps League, Kaua'i Police, Kaua'i Fire Department, Kaua'i Civil Defense, and NOAA will monitor the drill and will meet on Monday to offer feedback.

NOAA is providing educational activity fliers to the students and an informational packet for the schools.
