Debate over the non-activation of the SRUUK alert system during the Omiš fire

Summary

After a destructive fire in Omiš that killed one person and hospitalised seven others, an IT consultant criticises the decision not to activate the national emergency alert system, arguing it should have informed residents and tourists of protective measures rather than causing panic, while officials counter that the fire's speed and night-time occurrence made activation impractical and potentially counterproductive.
