I am greatly encouraged by this development.
An admission by Hawaii officials that they really do need help is a positive thing. Having mainland trained civil defense and fire management officials here will be a positive step.

From the article:
"RALEIGH, N.C. >> North Carolina officials say 10 emergency managers and fire service officials will work in Hawaii on the response to the erupting Kilauea volcano.
The state Department of Public Safety said in a news release that the 10 left Saturday after Hawaii’s state emergency management agency requested help.
The North Carolina team will work in Hilo and will support the Hawaii County Civil Defense agency.
Team members come from emergency management agencies in Bladen, Gates, Lee, McDowell, Moore and Onslow counties; fire departments in Cary, Charlotte and Greensboro and from N.C. Emergency Management."
