re you and your family prepared for and ready to react to a hurricane, tsunami, or other natural disaster or emergency? Where should you go for information, what supplies should you have at your home, and how can you be of assistance to others in your community that may need help?

This will be a terrific opportunity for you and your family to meet and chat with our community’s first responders and learn more about how you can prepare yourself, your family, and your community for any potential natural disaster or emergency. Just a few of the participating response agencies include:
- Honolulu Department of Emergency Management

- Civil Air Patrol
- Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
This event will feature hands-on exhibits, educational information, an interactive talking/moving robot, ocean safety rescue apparatus, the HPD’s mobile command vehicle, a Civil Air Patrol glider, a Fire Department ladder truck, and much more.
Bring the whole family and enjoy the opportunity to learn how you and your community can be READY 2 REACT to any emergency or disaster that may strike Hawaii.
