June 2026

​As Hawaiʻi approaches hurricane season from June through August, this year’s ‘Kona low’ storms have shown us that advance preparations can prevent major damages in our neighborhoods.  Our June 17th community forum at Noelani Elementary Cafeteria also provides an opportunity to discuss 'lessons learned' from this year's storms.

 

Check out my post-session newsletter for some of the steps being undertaken by state and county agencies to safeguard against severe weather events.

 

Please share your questions, ideas, and recommendations. What preparedness measures have worked on your block? What challenges remain? How should we encourage household readiness, neighbor-to-neighbor assistance, and community resilience before the next emergency arrives?  Your proposals can guide future discussions and priorities.​

Mahalo!
