Just in from Bob Cullum
Civil Defense Staff Specialist IV
Maui County Civil Defense Agency

Aloha CERT Grads-

Here is the latest update from the National Hurricane Center. This is the type of event you have been trained for and I trust you are ready to go! If Hurricane Felicia does make it all the way to Maui you will probably not get a call from Civil Defense but may get an email letting you know to activate. In case you don’t hear from me please “self activate” into your neighborhood or your preassigned meeting spot.
