NATURAL DISASTERS
City & County of Honolulu Department of Emergency Management
"Oahu’s Main Hazards - Oahu is a beautiful place to live, work and play but it's not immune to disasters. Our geographic isolation from the continental US and the rest of the world means that we may be on our own for two weeks or longer following a major disaster. Some of our top hazards, based on their likelihood and potential consequences, include hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods."
SCHOOLS
Great Schools!
"We help millions of parents get a great education for their child. Each year we reach more than half of all parents in the U.S. with school-age children. Whether it's helping parents find the right school, advocate for better schools, or support their children's learning, we work to empower parents with the information they need to improve educational opportunities–in their homes and their communities."
