What We Do

Preparation before a disaster is critical to community resiliency.

• Promote disaster preparedness through fairs and community and business events in Kailua.

• Identify and equip community groups interested in providing response or recovery services.

• Fundraise and purchase supplies for response and recovery efforts:

  • Kailua Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for search and rescue and disaster medical supplies (response phase).

  • Community Points of Distribution (CPOD) safety and traffic control supplies (recovery phase).

Coordinate recovery services, connecting people with life-saving supplies.

• Conduct needs assessment (who needs food, water, medicines, etc.) of Kailua residents.

• Forward results of needs assessment to government and nonprofit relief agencies.

• Coordinate the logistics and distribution of supplies through the use of Community Points of Distributions (CPODs).
