Acting mayor urges people to stay off 911
Advertiser Staff
Callers are flooding 911 lines and Acting Mayor Kirk Caldwell is urging people to use 911 for emergency calls only.
�They�re flooding 911 with calls asking when the wave will come, how long it will last,� Caldwell said. �We�re asking people not to tie up those lines unless you�re in a life-threatening situation.�
All city beach parks, golf courses and the Honolulu Zoo will be closed during the �tsunami event� and all city roads will be closed in the tsunami inundation zone, Caldwell said.
City officials are also using TheBus to organize special �evacuation� service along the Waianae Coast.
�They will say �evacuation� on the side of TheBus to get people out of the inundation zones,� Caldwell said. �People can bring carry-on (luggage) and pets are OK as long as they�re on a leash or in a cage.�
The evacuation buses along the Waianae Coast will take people to Nanakui High School.
Island-wide, people with special needs can call 454-5006 to be evacuated from inundation zones.
