John Carter said it was challenging communicating tsunami warnings to far-flung remote Far North communities. Tsunami sirens are among essential alert technology in these isolated and remote Far North communities. He said communicating tsunami evacuation warnings to far-flung remote Far North communities and "making sure everybody was aware of the alerts" were among the day's biggest challenges. Carter said the sequence of tsunami evacuation alerting had also gone well.
