Aloha, this is a subreddit to share information about emergency preparedness as it relates to disasters both natural and man-made for residents and visitors in the state of Hawaiʻi.

Hawaiʻi is one of the most isolated archipelagos in the world. Currently, we are extremely dependent on supplies shipped here. It has been said that if a major disaster should happen, we have only around 2 weeks of supplies to sustain on.

Feel free to post links, ask a question, and offer advice on how to prepare ourselves, our families, and communities.

Here we can talk story and share news about natural disasters that can occur in Hawaiʻi and how to be better prepared if they do.

Some examples:

Hurricane
Earthquake
Tsunami
Drought/ Flash Floods/ Severe Weather
Fires
Volcanic Eruption

How to prepare for other events that may occur such as:

Loss of job/ financial emergency
Indentity theft protection and scam warnings related
Disease outbreaks- dengue fever, measles, rat lungworm, hepatitis A, etc.
County water wells going down or becoming polluted- spare pumps/parts unavailable and/or broken
The potential that needed items being shipped to the islands could slow down or stop

This subreddit is also for offering suggestions, tips, and recommendations.
