Tsunami warning deficient, study says

Oregon Department of Transportation officials reported "little or no" 
coordination in their response to the tsunami, and said that some 
evacuees from the Hatfield center were stuck in a work zone because a 
state contractor hadn't been notified of the warning. The department 
is installing Highway Advisory Radio stations in a dozen locations 
along the coast, which can be used to broadcast tsunami information.
