For a lot of relatively small islands, wouldn't a further advantage of cell technology be that the cell towers could be put up in the hills, so they would be secure from tsunamis and even less susceptible to destruction from storm surges from hurricanes? A

s far as storm warnings, it seems that like the weather radio we have in the States that receives a warning signal from the National Weather Service, the easiest tsunami or other storm warning could be by satellite radio to the police or fire or other governmental or designated office on each island, which then could turn on the sirens. That would lower the cost of the storm warning system, and reduce the governmental protocols of having to call governments.
