PLANNING AND PREPARING FOR DISASTER

Governor Lingle and Major General Robert Lee speak with John Velligas, a member of the Hawai`i Reserve Corps, as they tour the special needs shelter at Stevenson Elementary School.

During hurricane season, which lasts through November, having a disaster emergency response plan for yourself, as well as your family and pets, is important.

Many disasters like earthquakes, locally generated tsunamis, and others will leave you with very little time to react. Know what resources are available to you beforehand, and develop a plan to ensure that all of your family members know what to do and are accounted for.

Locate your nearest emergency shelter.
Visit the Hawai`i State Civil Defense website to view a tsunami evacuation mapping tool.
