Today I spoke to Franklin McDonald the former Executive Director of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) and former CEO National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA). He is a Visiting Scholar at York University.
Mr. Franklin McDonald says that the public must get information about an earthquake quickly or else they will not have time to prepare for a possible tsunami. He feels that the heads of agencies should not be restrained in giving out vital information to the public. Mr McDonald expressed concerns about the number of meetings held by the Risk Management Council.
Franklin McDonald made a very profound statement to me after the programme. He said, "The idea of hiding public safety information does not work in the Internet age".

A big one is coming no doubt, I agree our people should be properly informed in regards to this reality,while we can prevent a earthquake being informed can help our people mentally/psychologically.
