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?

Just a few of the participating response agencies include:
- Honolulu Department of Emergency Management
- Federal Emergency Management Agency

- 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.

So, we all know that the new ‘Aiea Public Library is being built–we all know that much. However, most of the work is hidden behind a temporary fence, so have you been wondering exactly what’s been going on back there? If you have, perhaps we can shed some light onto your curiosity!
The following photos are from a project construction report filed with the Department of Accounting & General Services. According to the report, the facility (designed by Davin Kimoto of CDS International and being built by Nan Inc) is set to be complete by the mid-December 2013. Not surprising, seeing as how quickly everything is going up! Awesome!!!
