Alaska is a Republican state. Do they believe in Tsunami warnings?
Alaska's Senators are trying to get funding back for radio emergency networks. Both of them voted to eliminate the funding.
This earthquake and tsunami warning comes while our senators are voting to claw back funding for rural radio stations in Alaska. Alaska is a radio state, many people out there are getting their emergency news and guidance through local public radio. Right this minute. #akleg #akgov
