Hi all,
We need to find time soon to plan our presentation this coming Friday. We
have to share to the legislators all the outreach we've conducted, materials
we have on hand & maybe some of the feedbacks we received.

Thank you for agreeing to facilitate the transmission of our concern regarding the recent unfortunate false nuclear
alert on Saturday, January 13, 2018 to the Office of the Governor as well as other key stakeholders.
DCAB realizes that the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) is grappling with some very serious
systemic issues relating to the false emergency notification that caused panic in the community. In addition to those
serious operational deficiencies that need to be corrected, we are compelled to bring to light a very serious flaw and
civil rights issue: There were NO captioned or interpreted announcements on television to inform the deaf and hard
of hearing community that the alert was a false alarm, nor were there any captioned or interpreted press conferences,
interviews, or explanations subsequent to the false alarm.
Many people who are deaf or hard of hearing did receive the initial text alert. However, it was 38 minutes before a
retraction was sent out on the same system and deaf people were left in the dark the entire time. Although hearing
people could tune to television to hear the voice of the Administrator, Congressional delegate, or Governor to learn
that the alarm was false, deaf people could not. They were left in panic for the full 38 minutes while hearing people
were able to be reassured on television much earlier with spoken announcements. Deaf people were entitled to
receive the same timely information from the media. Furthermore, after the 38 minutes, when there was a more
detailed explanation of what happened (or did not happen) on television, there was no captioning or live interpreter
present, particularly at the press conferences. This is clearly not acceptable, and very likely a civil rights violation.
Please relay this concern as soon as possible to the Governor’s Office. We request subsequent press conferences to
(1) have an ASL interpreter and captioning, (2) an acknowledgement in an upcoming press conference that an
interpreter and captioning should have been provided on the day of the event, and (3) an assurance that
communication access for deaf and hard of hearing persons will be provided in the future through captioning and
ASL interpreters.
DCAB continues to be willing to offer technical support to the Office of the Governor, HI-EMA, and media outlets.
Thank you,
Francine

Subject: - re: Missile alarm
Hello,
I wanted to get a message to if possible. Please forward to him if you can.
My family (my wife and two children) and I were visiting from Reno, NV and staying at the Courtyard hotel in
Kauai when the false alarm went out. We came down to the lobby and found our way into the restaurant. Shortly
after you took charge, introduced yourself, and gave direction. I just wanted to reach out and take a minute to thank
you for your leadership, calm in the time of crisis, and general ability to manage things. I know HI-EMA is taking a
lot of heat right now, but the individual actions that took place during that 20 minutes of fear and panic are likely
unknown and unrecognized. I wanted to show my appreciation, even if it's just a thank you by email. We were all
scared and didn't know what to do. It will take time to get past how shaken we were. We appreciate your actions
greatly and are grateful that you happened to be there and showed yourself to be strong, calm, and positive. So thank
you. We are safe at home in Reno now, but my family and I will never forget that day or the man who made sure we
would be as safe as possible. HI-EMA is fortunate to have you in their employ. Please feel free to share my
comments and contact information with your superiors or anyone else you feel should see them.
Mahalo and aloha,

Governor David Ige said Saturday that the state didn’t have a process in place to issue a cancellation and the
correction had to be done manually after receiving federal approval.
We showed these comments to FEMA and asked them if FEMA authorization is required to retract a state-issued

Gentlemen.
Received this RFI today. Not sure how to answer any of the questions given I have no sense of where we are and
where we are going with this initiative. Right now I’m making the following assumptions.
1. All work on BMP is suspended pending the efforts of BG Hara.

2. Other than the two talks I have scheduled, I’m not accepting any more.
3. I no longer lead the planning around BMP.
4. I’m shifting my efforts to other work (safety plan, WebEOC, etc.).
Please correct me if I made incorrect assumptions. How should I proceed in terms of Mr. Cole’s questions?
Pls advise.

Truthfully, I feel for all of you I know over there.
Anyway, I’m doing a story today along the lines that the false alarm showed the state’s preparedness plan is still a
work in progress.
Can I ask these qs?
1. When was the full preparedness plan/guide expected to be done (before Saturday happened)?
2. Vern has talked about being at the first phase of public awareness. Can you convey the other phases and when
they are happening?
3. Is all the planning halted pending the investigations?
4. When will it resume?
5. What did HIEMA learn with the frantic search for stores and other substantial buildings as far as going forward
with planning?
6. What other cities/states are doing NK missile preparedness planning?
Thanks, William

Perez, the Regional SAMHSA Administrator, and I discussed this morning about Hawaii’s situation and how it may

________________________________
Good evening, all:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in tomorrow’s briefing for the Hawaii Congressional delegation on the false
missile alert. Below are the confirmed details:
Who: Senator Schatz (confirmed); Senator Hirono (invited); Representative Gabbard (invited); and
Representative Hanabusa (invited)
What: Assessing the events of and lessons learned from the 13 January false missile alert in Hawaii
Where: 722 Hart Senate office building (Hawaii-based participants to join via VTC from Senator Schatz’s
Honolulu office in the federal building, Suite 7-212)
When: 5 p m. EST / 12 p m. HST
To facilitate tomorrow’s briefing, below is a preliminary set of topics and questions that we ask the briefers to please
be prepared to address, as appropriate:
* Assessing the 13 January false missile alert
o Timeline for the false alert, including how it was initiated and what steps were taken to rescind it, as well as
HIEMA/Hawaii government initial interactions with FEMA.
o Are there standards, processes, and/or best practices for withdrawing/correcting/updating an alert (e.g., because of
an error or new information)? Did those work here? In not, why not?
* Assessing the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders (federal and state governments; and HEMA
employees) in the wireless emergency alert (WEA) system
A. Logan - 000043
o What discretion do states have to design their own warning systems and procedures for issuing an alert?
o What training do emergency service employees receive regarding the warning system? Is this training based on
national standards or is it Hawaii specific?
o Who is responsible for establishing standards for the warning system regarding cyber security and command and
control (e.g., ability to recall messages)?
o What authenticating role do federal stakeholders have for alerts concerning “imminent threat to life and safety”
that have national security implications?
* Assessing the aftermath of a wireless emergency alert
o How, if at all, are WEA system alerts integrated with the broadcast emergency alert system and other relevant

REMARKS FOR THE FLOOR – SENATOR MAZIE K. HIRONO
January 17, 2018
M. President, when the sun rose last Saturday in Hawaii, nothing seemed out of the
ordinary.
People on Kauai were getting ready to participate in the local march to commemorate
Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Families were sitting around the table eating breakfast. Others were sleeping in after a
long week of work.
At 8:07 am, everything changed.
Mobile phones throughout Hawaii received an emergency alert in all capital letters
informing them of a ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii, and that it was not a
drill.
The terror and panic was real, and peoples’ reactions reflected that.
Parents passed their children through manhole covers into the sewers seeking safety.
Separated family members took to the highways, driving as fast as 100 miles per hour to
get home. Some had to decide whether to rush to be with their spouse or their children.
38 minutes later, an emergency alert came through, saying there was no missile threat.
False alarm. The relief was palpable.
This relief gave way to real, visceral anger.
A. Logan - 000055
2
Anger that there was a false alarm. Anger that it took 38 minutes to alert the public.
Anger that we faced a missile threat at all.
This incident has undermined the public’s faith in our state government’s ability to
provide timely and accurate information about a potential crisis.
At a time when we face heightened tensions around the world, and particularly with
regard to North Korea, it is crucial the people of Hawaii can have confidence in the
government as an institution to provide accurate information.
It’s why I am calling for a thorough, transparent investigation into what occurred. We
need a full accounting of the human and system failures that occurred. And we need to
identify and put in place specific steps to make sure something like this never happens
again.
What we do know is that the incident was a result of human error. An operator
mistakenly triggered the alert.
Although the error was discovered quickly, we need to better understand the
circumstances that led up to the incident. We need to understand how the operator was
trained.
We need to identify and understand any other potential issues that resulted in this
specific human error. The State has appointed an investigator to get to the bottom of
this, and the State Legislature is scheduled to be briefed on preliminary findings on
Friday.
Once the circumstances that precipitated this error are identified, we need to correct
them as quickly as possible.
A. Logan - 000056
3
Concurrently, we need to understand the system failures that resulted both in the false
alert and in the 38 minute delay before the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency
(HI-EMA) issued a correction.
Why did HI-EMA officials believe they needed approval from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to issue a correction? The Secretary of Homeland Security told me
at a hearing yesterday that no such permission was necessary, pointing to a need for
clarity regarding agency responsibilities.
State governments oversee and operate local emergency management alert systems. But
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Homeland
Security – through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – have a role
to play to make sure these systems are operating properly.
During yesterday’s hearing in the Judiciary Committee, Secretary of Homeland Security
Kirstjen Nielsen committed to working with me to strengthen federal-state cooperation
on emergency alerts, assess potential failures, and improve overall readiness in Hawaii
and across our country.
The FCC is also conducting an investigation into what happened.
The entire nation will benefit if these key federal agencies work with states to close gaps
in training and communication, institute best practices, and ensure states and local
governments have the appropriate resources to prevent this from happening again.
A. Logan - 000057
4
This false alert also clarified the importance of strong coordination between state
government and our military. Over the weekend, I spoke with Admiral Harris of Pacific
Command about ways to strengthen this coordination, particularly during a period of
heightened tensions with North Korea.
The fact that people in Hawaii immediately assumed the missile originated in North
Korea speaks to the broad concern about the potential for conflict and threat North
Korea poses to our state and the rest of the country.
We need to support and strengthen diplomatic efforts regarding North Korea because
at a time of heightened tension between and the United States and North Korea, the
potential for miscalculations increase.
The President, rather than engaging in a tit for tat with Kim Jong-un, should be
supporting Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s efforts to engage in meaningful diplomacy
and marshall the support of our allies to diffuse tensions with North Korea.
I spoke earlier today with Secretary of Defense James Mattis to emphasize the urgency
of resolving this situation peacefully, knowing that he had just returned from a
multinational meeting with a number of key allies, including Japan and South Korea,
focusing on North Korean provocations.
Secretary Mattis provided a military perspective at this meeting and reiterated to me
the importance of strong diplomatic efforts to resolve tensions with North Korea.
A. Logan - 000058
5
I call on the president to support these kinds of initiatives and give Secretary Tillerson
the resources he needs.
I yield the floor.

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] IMPORTANT: Investigation of Saturday"s incident...
Date: Sunday, January 14, 2018 11:14:06 AM
________________________________
Good morning all.
I have been asked by Vern to assume the role of Investigating Officer for the incident we are terming the ‘Warning
System Mishap of January 13, 2018’. Our intent is to follow a well-established process known as a Root Cause
Analysis with Corrective Action Plan. This process is used for critical incidents in healthcare, nuclear industry,
aviation and alike.
Timetable is as follows:
Tuesday, January 16 Phase I: Preparation of supporting information including pulling together
interviews and statements made immediately following the incident.
Wednesday, January 17 Phase II: Problem definition and detailed capture of key events and actions. By
the end of the day, we will have a well-defined and detailed map of what happened and when compared with what
should have happened. We will know the gaps in performance.
Thursday, January 18 Phase III: Solution will be explored and discussed. Outline of various courses of
action prepared. Action plan with assignments and deadlines drafted.
Friday, January 19 Preliminary Report of Findings with Action Plan will be published.
This is a very aggressive timetable. I respectfully request that those of you who receive an invitation to participate
make this your highest priority. Branch chiefs should clear their calendars for both Wednesday and Thursday.
A. Logan - 000060
If you are invited to participate by name, you MAY NOT send a delegate. Supervisors may be asked to bring in
staff during periods other than their ordinary working hours. See me for implications (second jobs, overtime, etc.).
An
invitation to participate is not voluntary.
In the meantime, I urge all HI-EMA staff to avoid making interim changes to operational procedures and technology
until we have a completed report of findings. Vern has directed that no further drills/exercises be conducted
until the resulting Action Plan has been completed and we are assured that the potential of another error is as low as
humanly possible. Responses to real-world incidents must continue as per procedure.
Staff approached by representatives of the media should avoid making statements other than directing them to HI-
EMA External Affairs (Richard or Arlina). Likewise, try your best not to respond to social media or other
scuttlebutt.
Do not share or pass along rumors or other unverified information. We are planning on briefing all HI-EMA staff
on this soon. You’ll know the facts and will be in a good position to share them as they emerge.
In case you’re wondering, the discussions and facts derived during the investigation will be kept CONFIDENTIAL
however the resulting report and action plan will be made public. No escaping that. Truthfulness and deliberate
efforts
to find and report the facts is expected and is critical to our reputation and effectiveness going forward.
MG Logan, Vern and I all know how hard this is on you. We are proud of our organization, our people and the
service we provide to our state so when something like this happens, it hurts. I believe that we will be judged not
only
for what happened, but also how we respond to this incident. We can’t change what happened, we can change the
how we do things in the future and we will. We will be a better organization after the smoke clears.
We will regain the trust and confidence of the public that depends on us for so much – their very lives.
This is a very serious matter. I recall a statement made by the NASA Flight Director during the Apollo 13
accident. You too may recall the film made in the 1990’s. He interrupted an official who felt the Apollo program
was over. The
flight director stated abruptly ‘ Sir, I believe this will be our finest hour’. In the end, he was right. So will it be for
us.

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
Cindy, how about these talking points vice what I sent earlier with my Remarks?
1. (Concern) This is an extremely unacceptable event that has eroded the public's trust of State Gov't, more
specifically HIEMA.
2. (Action) I have directed a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the false alert, and
we have already made changes to prevent this from occurring again.
3. (Perception) Again, because the world is a dangerous place and our State was directly threatened by a rogue
nation. Your emergency management agency took prudent steps to plan for the worst, and paramount to this was the
time constraints of 12-15 minutes notification to the public.
Awaiting your guidance.

Subject: Hawaii CODEL briefing on false missile alert - confirmation and details
Good evening, all:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in tomorrow’s briefing for the Hawaii Congressional delegation on the false
missile alert. Below are the confirmed details:
Where: 722 Hart Senate office building (Hawaii-based participants to join via VTC from Senator Schatz’s
Honolulu office in the federal building, Suite 7-212)
When: 5 p m. EST / 12 p m. HST
To facilitate tomorrow’s briefing, below is a preliminary set of topics and questions that we ask the briefers to please
be prepared to address, as appropriate:
* Assessing the 13 January false missile alert
o Are there standards, processes, and/or best practices for withdrawing/correcting/updating an alert (e.g., because of
an error or new information)? Did those work here? In not, why not?
* Assessing the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders (federal and state governments; and HEMA
A. Logan - 000071
o What training do emergency service employees receive regarding the warning system? Is this training based on
national standards or is it Hawaii specific?
o Who is responsible for establishing standards for the warning system regarding cyber security and command and
control (e.g., ability to recall messages)?
o What authenticating role do federal stakeholders have for alerts concerning “imminent threat to life and safety”
that have national security implications?
* Assessing the aftermath of a wireless emergency alert
o How, if at all, are WEA system alerts integrated with the broadcast emergency alert system and other relevant
systems?
o Are operators of critical infrastructure (e.g., power plants, airports, harbors, hospitals, and refineries) notified
separately?
o Does HIEMA have a list of events where there are lots of people so they can notify organizers to mitigate panic?
o Who is responsible for ensuring that 911 call centers have capacity to handle high call volumes following an
alert?
o Is there an alternative way for officials, broadcasters, and/or the public to verify an alert?
* Assessing civil defense training to support alerts
o How can we most simply ensure people know what to do, wherever they live or are at the time of an incident?
o What specific processes and procedures exist for coordination between civil and military authorities? What is the
standard/expected process for a ballistic missile alert? Other kinds of alerts (e.g., tsunami, hurricane, etc.).
o How are local law enforcement agencies involved to ensure that they are prepared in the event of an emergency?
* Assessing lessons learned and recommendations for improvements
o What worked and what did not from the perspectives of the federal and state stakeholders (including the public
response to the alert)?
o What immediate steps are each federal and state agencies taking to prevent a false alert in the future? Are
additional statutory authorities needed? Is there sufficient funding to support these efforts?
Please let us know if you have any questions in advance of tomorrow’s briefing. We look forward to seeing you
then.

Cindy, here is what I have prepared for my remarks tomorrow.
The first page is my fall back 3 talking points, then the remarks follow.

A. Logan - 000074
MG Logan’s, Joint Committee Hearing on False BMD Alert
1 (Concern) fully understand the anxiety and fear that was felt
throughout Hawaii during those first minutes following the initial
message that there was a ballistic missile launched towards Hawaii. I
cannot take those feelings back and know that the landscape of
response has been forever altered. I also know that the trust in our
state government, HI-EMA in particular, has been eroded and will need
to be earned back.
2 (Activity) From minute one of the alert, many of us, in the leadership
posts from the State of Hawaii, Dept. of Defense were in the process of
getting the information out, the narrative of us working sequentially and
not concurrently is not true. However, even in our efforts, we failed to
get an automated False Alert Cancellation message out in a timely
manner. Within hours, protocols and SOPs were changed, a new
second text is now able to be sent, and training for the State Warning
Point changed.
3 (Perception) We took steps to prepare for a ballistic missile attack
because the world is a dangerous place. Our state has been directly
threatened by North Korea and the nuclear rhetoric is rampant in our
media. Your emergency management leaders felt that we needed to
take actions and plan for the worst, but these steps needed to get out
to the public. With the limited time to react to an attack, that 12-15
minute window is vital for the survival of our residents and visitor.
A. Logan - 000075
Aloha.
I am Maj. Gen. Joe Logan and I am the Adjutant General, or TAG, for
the State of Hawaii’s Department of Defense., and I also serve as the
Director of HI-EMA.
Thank you for having us here today to provide answers to your
questions, but, more importantly, to work with you to improve our
emergency management system.
From January through November of 2016, North Korea tested a
nuclear device and fired some 20 missiles, each time improving its
ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities. In November of that year,
Hawaii took the first steps, in the nation, to prepare and plan for a
nuclear ballistic attack. We just have to look back to the year 2016
where from Jan through November, the leader of North Korea tested a
nuclear device and fired some 20 missiles always improving his
ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities.
In November 2016, the Administrator of HIEMA came to me and
indicated that North Korea continues to test his nuclear program and
has threated the U.S. with his capabilities. We and I discussed the
concern and sat down our concerns about this with the
Governorgovernor and with our recommendedation that we in HI must
take action to make ourplan and prepare for this threat and to inform
the public about itaware of the threat and better prepare them for
surviving a ballistic missile attack.
So HIEMA, at the direction of the Governor, embarked on a campaign
plan to educate the public on the threat, the expectation of the public,
and what we at HIEMA are doing to get ahead of the threat and
prepare our State.
According to open source news reports, in 2017, North Korea launched
15 ballistic missiles and conducted one nuclear test. This nuclear test
A. Logan - 000076
I have directed BG (Ret) Bruce Oliveira to conduct a complete internal
investigation of all the facts and circumstances surrounding this false
ballistic missile alert. We will make additional course corrections, as
appropriate.
This brings us up to the events of Saturday, the 13th of January at
approximately 8:07 a.m.
At this time, I would like to have the Administrator of the Hawaii
Emergency Management Agency, MG (Ret) Vern Miyagi, will provide
you with the time-line of events that occurred that day.

This was in a blast email Senator Dona Kim sent out today. I think it indicates her priorities on the false alarm issue:
FALSE MISSILE ATTACK
Saturday's false alarm of a missile attack was inexcusable. We will be holding a public hearing on Friday, January
19, 10:00 a m., in the Capitol Auditorium, to discuss this unfortunate error with emergency management officials,
which drew widespread national and even international attention. In keeping with my emphasis on accountability in
government, we will examine how and why the error was not reported sooner, what safeguards are in order, and
what the emergency management officials' plan is for the public once a real alert is activated.

FYI – Timeline included.
A. Logan - 000086
TIME LINE
Approx. 8:05 a.m. – A routine internal test during a shift change was initiated. This was a test
that involved the Emergency Alert System (EAS), the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA), but no
warning sirens.
0807 – A warning test was triggered statewide by the State Warning Point, HI-EMA. Civil
Danger Warning “CDW” message sent out on EAS/WEA.
0810 – State Adjutant Maj. Gen. Joe Logan, validated with the U.S. Pacific Command that there
was no missile launch.
Honolulu Police Department notified of the false alarm by HI-EMA.
SWP begins receiving phone calls from public. Personal and SWP i-phones start
receiving the EAS/WEA message. Continue to respond to calls from public, media, other
agencies.
0813 – State Warning Point issues a cancellation of the Civil Danger Warning Message. This
would have prevented the initial alert from being rebroadcast to phones that may not have
received it yet. For instance, if a phone was not on at 8:07 a.m., if someone was out of range
and has since came into cell coverage (Hikers, Mariners, etc.) and/or people getting off a plane.
0813 – Notification of county emergency management agencies, radio and TV stations.
0820 – HI-EMA issues public notification of cancellation via their Facebook and Twitter
accounts.
0824 – Governor Ige retweets HI-EMA’s cancellation notice.
0826 – Administrator on live KITV Island News
0827 – HI-EMA IT discusses options for false alarm internally. Decides coordination with FEMA
advisable to confirm current situation met criteria of event code.
0830 – Called FEMA for advice and they agree to Civil Emergency Message “CEM” code.
0830 – Governor posts cancellation notification to his Facebook page.
0830 – Remote setup/booting up of work lap top computer at home by IT. Log into
system. Develop new CEM activation template – write EAS/WEA false alarm message and
insert into template.
0845 – After getting authorization (in error) from FEMA Integral Public Alert and Warning
System, HI-EMA issued a “Civil Emergency Message” remotely.
0845 (est) – VTC with Counties
0850 – GOV arrives at HI-EMA
0900 (est) – GOV telephone interview with CNN
0930 – First Press Conference - GOV

A. Logan - 000088
Three themes:
a. Preparedness All Hazards
b. Have a Plan/Get Ahead of it.
c. Compared to other jurisdictions – Hawaii is the most prepared for
BMD.
2. What happened:
a. A routine internal BMD notification/alert drill was initiated at 0800
Saturday, 13 January 2018 after a change of shift.
b. Employee by mistake applied the wrong application and initiated an
actual state-wide Civil Danger Warning (CDW) at 0807.
c. After 38 minutes HI-EMA issued a Civil Emergency Message (CEM)
remotely that the first message was a false alarm.
d. Actions taken immediately:
i. All drills suspended until further notice.
ii. BMD false alarm application installed.
iii. Implementation of 2-person rule for all alert/notifications
e. Currently an investigation is being done by BG Oliveira who comes
from outside of HI-EMA.
3. Why 38 minutes? See timeline:

a. This was a routine internal drill of the BMD checklist using the
EAS/WEA program. No message was intended to go out.
b. Actual BMD message was sent out.
c. Main issue – computer application to retract the erroneous message
did not exist on menu. The IT specialist that could create this
application was offsite and as soon as he understood it was a false
alarm started to engage. Called supervisor and discussed. Called
FEMA for consultation to ensure correct code was used then created
application remotely and executed.
d. Yes – this took 38 minutes from 0807 – 0845. This is what happened.
4. FEMA authorization not needed. 20 minutes to contact FEMA

a. This was a misunderstanding on my part. I represented this in the
afternoon news conference on Saturday. This was in error. The call
to FEMA at 0830 was for consultation only … not authorization. I
A. Logan - 000089
corrected this in my statement during the Governor’s press
conference on Monday, 15 January.
b. Why did it take 20 minutes? This is what our timeline shows. I don’t
have the detailed actions accomplished but I can check and get back
to you.
5. Speed bump on all hazards test and drill?

a. I understand that speed bumps “are you sure you want to send this
alert,” are on all drill and actual screens for all events.
6. Death threats – why so late?

a. Saturday and Sunday – documentation took time – 53 calls – Tuesday
talked with HPD, Wednesday report was filed.
7. What communication attempts were attempted?

a. Public: Facebook and twitter; county notification systems
(Blackboard Connect and HNL.info); all telephones.
8. Screen Menus – why 2:

a. HI-EMA did not coordinate distribution with GOV office. Both
facsimiles showed the same BMD options.
9. Screen Menus – Can we change format so that test and actual separated or
clearly different?
a. This is a very good idea … I am not sure what our options are but will
check.
10.Alert sense – there are many safeguards – 5 clicks – what happened?

a. The answer to this question will come out after the ongoing
investigation
11.Why didn’t you human anticipate error?

a. Let’s wait for the results from the ongoing investigation
12.Why wasn’t the two-person rule already in place?

a. Let’s wait for the results of the ongoing investigation
A. Logan - 000090
13.Was he being supervised? How many people were in the room?
a. Await the results of the ongoing investigation.
14.Was he certified? Are the other SWP employees trained/certified?

a. All state and county staff are required to take the IS:247A class. All
SWP on duty Saturday, 13 January 2018 were certified including the
Warning Officer who triggered the warning.
15.What is status of Alert Sense System? IPAWS?

a. System was installed a few years ago and provides state connectivity
to FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.
16.Security issue with Post It note?

a. For an unknown application. Taken down and all hands message
directing all HI-EMA personnel to keep pass words secured sent.
17.Why shouldn’t you be fired?

a. Miyagi’s don’t quit.
b. This is a tough time but will get through it. Same focus as before:
Preparing and protecting the people of Hawaii and its visitors from all
hazards and emergencies.
c. I will stay with my team until told otherwise. We have much to do.
18.What grade would you give HI-EMA? For this event – the lack of a “false
alarm” would rate our SWP Notification and Alert System as RED. The
installation of the “false alarm” application and two-person rule will put
the system in a higher category but this will subject to the results of the
investigation.

Sirs,
Attached is the latest version of BG Oliveria's appointment memo. I have

removed all references to AR 15-6 and have also removed the directive that
the IO use any DA Forms.
BG Oliveira, you no longer need to fill out a DA 1574 for this. I spoke
with the TAG and it makes sense that as an Agency Directed IO you wouldn't
necessarily be using 15-6 or any DA Forms. There's nothing wrong with using
15-6 as a guide and if you used any DA 2823/sworn statement forms that's
fine, I just eliminated any reference to them and changed your title to
Agency Directed Investigator as opposed to a 15-6 Investigator.

exist to chronical said training?
d. Did the established protocol during the change of shift test include a response protocol in
the event a false state-wide ballistic missile civil danger warning message was issued, and if so,
did HI-EMA ERC SWP members follow said response protocol on 13 January 2018?

BG Kenneth Hara’s Remarks
Friday, January 19, 2018 at 10 a.m.
Members of the House and Senate committees, thank you

for allowing me to provide comments today.
The False Alert notification on January 13 was

unacceptable, however through this incident we
discovered critical shortfalls that need to be addressed.
As a result, Gov Ige has directed me to conduct a

comprehensive review of Hawaii’s Preparedness plans,
policies, and procedures.
My review will assess all hazards, not just the ballistic

missile threat. This review will focus on ensuring Hawaii’s
residents are better informed, more resilient, and prepared
for all hazards.
My concept is to build a whole of government and whole of

community team to conduct the review and assist with
creating an initial action plan and final report.
The final report will serve as a long term strategy that

identifies actions required to better inform and educate the
public, improve coordination and collaboration with
stakeholders, and update laws, policies, and procedures.
These are following actions taken thus far:
A. Logan - 000103
On January 17, I participated in Senator Schatz Video
Teleconference that included SEN Hirono, representatives
from Representative Gabbard and Hanabusa’s office,
FEMA, FCC, and the Department of Defense.
On 18 January, I attended the State Emergency
Communication Committee meeting that included most of
Hawaii’s broadcast agencies. The meeting focused on
improving rapid and accurate notification of the public.
I look forward to working with the State Legislature on this

effort.
Thank you again for this opportunity. We are prepared

now to take your questions.

Warning point officers at HI-EMA are exempt, non-civil service employees.

However, they are in the union - HGEA, BU-03.
Also, DHRD just called. A writer from the New York Times is asking the
Governor's Office how many employees are employed by HI-EMA. WE responded
to DHRD (60 employees at HI-EMA) and they will inform the Governor's Office
who will be responding to the inquiry.

At that time, I had not been informed yet that it was a false alarm.
Following a telecom with BG Hara at 0817, letting me know that it was a

false alarm, I immediately tried calling into the newsrooms to have them put
out the word. My first four attempts to call were unsuccessful due to the
phone lines being overwhelmed. I was able to get through to HNN at 0818,

Good evening, all:

Thank you for agreeing to participate in tomorrow's briefing for the Hawaii Congressional delegation on the
false missile alert. Below are the confirmed details:

Where: 722 Hart Senate office building (Hawaii-based participants to join via VTC from Senator
Schatz's Honolulu office in the federal building, Suite 7-212)
When: 5 p m. EST / 12 p.m. HST

To facilitate tomorrow's briefing, below is a preliminary set of topics and questions that we ask the briefers to
please be prepared to address, as appropriate:

. Assessing the 13 January false missile alert
o Are there standards, processes, and/or best practices for withdrawing/correcting/updating an alert (e.g.,
because of an error or new information)? Did those work here? In not, why not?

. Assessing the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders (federal and state governments; and HEMA
o What training do emergency service employees receive regarding the warning system? Is this training based
on national standards or is it Hawaii specific?
o Who is responsible for establishing standards for the warning system regarding cyber security and command
and control (e.g., ability to recall messages)?
o What authenticating role do federal stakeholders have for alerts concerning "imminent threat to life and
safety" that have national security implications?

. Assessing the aftermath of a wireless emergency alert
o How, if at all, are WEA system alerts integrated with the broadcast emergency alert system and other
relevant systems?

Sir,
I have most of the facts now:
At the State EOC where HI EMA State Warning Point is located and works 24/7/365.
3 times per day there is a Shift Change Brief and this morning during review of the procedures for BMD that
occurs at each change of shift, the oncoming shift, at 0807 hrs inadvertently initiated the real wireless alert system,
vice the alert Test system when going through their procedures.
We practice the Wireless alert test but we did not practice the cancellation and so that took more time to cancel
the alert and notified all it was a false alarm.
At 0820 HIEMA put out via social media Twitter that it was a false alarm.
At 0845 a cancellation went out via wireless alert system.
At 0808, I made 3 immediate phone calls, first to HIEMA, second to PACOM, third to GOV with the facts.
Gov has been on the news media and we r working to get the news out nationally.
We have several procedural changes to implement immediately and one is postponing the procedures.
There is a process with PACOM-NORTHCOM-FEMA to notify HIEMA of an inbound missile that would
trigger these Alert Procedures.

He came down and had me add 1-2-3 TPs about concern, activity and perception
A. Logan - 000143
MG Logan’s, Joint Committee Hearing on False BMD Alert
1 (Concern) I fully understand the anxiety and fear that was felt
throughout Hawaii during those first minutes following the initial
message that there was a ballistic missile launched towards Hawaii. I
cannot take those feelings back and know that the landscape of
response has been forever altered. I also know that the trust in our
state government, HI-EMA in particular, has been eroded and will need
to be earned back.
2 (Activity) From minute one of the alert, many of us, in the leadership
posts from the State of Hawaii, Dept. of Defense were in the process of
getting the information out, the narrative of us working sequentially and
not concurrently is utterly and ridiculously false. However, even in our
efforts, we failed to get an effective message out in a timely manner.
Within hours, protocols and SOPs were changed, a new second text
was now able to be sent, and training for the State Warning Point
changed.
3 (Perception) We took steps to prepare for a ballistic missile attack
because the world is a dangerous place. Our state has been directly
threatened by North Korea and the nuclear rhetoric is rampant in our
media. Your emergency management leaders felt that we needed to
take actions and plan for the worst, but these steps needed to get out
to the public. With the limited time to react to an attack, that 12-15
minute window is vital to understand what do to.
A. Logan - 000144
Aloha.
I am Maj. Gen. Joe Logan and I am the Adjutant General, or TAG, for
the State of Hawaii’s Department of Defense. I have been in the TAG
since January of 2015.
The State of Hawaii, Department of Defense includes six Divisions- the
Hawaii Army and Air National Guard, the Hawaii Emergency
Management Agency (HI-EMA), the Office of Veterans Services, the
Youth Challenge Academy and the Office of Homeland Security.
As well as being the TAG, I also serve as the Director of HI-EMA and
the State’s Homeland Security Advisor.
Thank you for having us here today.
Hawaii is has had its share of natural disasters and our residents are
truly resilient. The State, at all levels of government, has helped to
maintain preparedness, coordinate detailed plans of response and
have the ability to recover and return our state to normalcy. We are
Subject Matter Experts in regards to hurricane preparedness.
Hawaii took the first steps, in the nation, to prepare and plan for a
nuclear ballistic attack. In December of 2016, Hawaii-EMA started to
review cold-war era nuclear response plans and found that they were
extremely outdated and non-applicable to today’s environment.
How did we get here?
In a statement by the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command,
Admiral Harry Harris, to the House Armed Services Committee in April
of 2017, on the posture of the PACOM, he stated, “North Korea
continues to disregard United Nations sanctions by developing and
threatening to use intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear
weapons that will threaten the U.S. Homeland.”
He further stated, “North Korea remains our most immediate threat in
the Indo-Asia-Pacific.”
A. Logan - 000145
And lastly, “Aggressive rhetoric since the New Year, strongly suggests
North Korea will not only continue to test these prescribed systems,
but, is also likely to attempt a first launch of a similarly prohibited
intercontinental ballistic missile.”
According to open source news reports, in 2017 alone, North Korea
launched 15 ballistic missiles and conducted one nuclear test. This
nuclear test of a hydrogen bomb increased the earlier assessments
from 15 kilotons to 150 kilotons.
The experts tell us that the flight time of an ICBM from North Korea to
the State of Hawaii is approximately 20 minutes.
Further, we are told that it takes approximately 5 minutes after launch
to determine the direction and likely target of the ICBM. This leaves
Hawaii with approximately 15 minutes when we are notified that we
are under a BMD threat.
It is at this point that the State of Hawaii through the Hawaii
Emergency Management Agency, assumes the responsibility to as
described by law, to monitor and issues alerts and warnings.
These alerts and warnings are monitored and issued by the State
Warning Point, a section of HI-EMA, which is tasked with the timely
warning and notification to government, county warning points,
emergency operations centers, and when directed, the general public.
This brings us up to the events of Saturday, the 13th of January at
approximately 8:07 a.m.
At this time, I would like to have the Administrator of the Hawaii
Emergency Management Agency, MG (Ret) Vern Miyagi provide you
with the time-lined events that occurred that morning.
