Kauaʻi Wildfire and Hazard Mitigation Town Hall
Mahalo to everyone who joined us for the Wildfire Preparedness and Mitigation Town Hall this past Wednesday, October 15.
We had an engaging and informative evening thanks to our incredible presenters — Elizabeth Pickett of the Hawaiʻi Wildfire Management Organization, Dorothy Booth from the Office of the State Fire Marshal, Elton Ushio of the Kauaʻi Emergency Management Agency, and Chief Michael Gibson of the Kauaʻi Fire Department.
Their insights and guidance helped spark meaningful discussion on how we can better protect our homes, lands, and communities from future wildfire risks.
A special mahalo as well to the many residents and landowners who came to share their questions, experiences, and commitment to keeping Kauaʻi safe.
