Yes sad and unbelievable that the public got no early instructions and evacuation orders. No emergency helps from the many military bases in the nearby islands? Locals only knew the fires were near when they hear explosions and see thick smokes, by then it was too late for many. 89 deaths and many still missing.Beautiful Island. Shame that this has happened to them.
Communication, power and water were down very early on. None of their early warning systems was activated during the entire fire. This is unusual even for a badly run developing country.
