There will be no excuse for not helping out people in HPP this time if we turn back into a fallen albizia hell with no power for weeks. Every other subdivision had their community centers in operation shortly after the storm, I know because I had to go there to get water, ice and information for almost 3 weeks while our board did nothing.
Well, they aren't a brand new board now, let's see what they can do if we have a weather emergency.

I guess you didn't read my earlier post swr. We have HPP NW, CERT and HPP Community Emergency Committee who has been working diligently over the course of the past year to get an emergency plan in place. They have made trial runs and are on alert before the storm hits. They are ready! Kudos and mahalo again to all the volunteers.
After storm Iselle, many volunteers were passing out/or delivering water, food and ice to our members at our activity ctr or their homes. That was up and running w/in several days after the storm. I was one of the volunteers so I know. We also delivered water to HELCO while they worked on our roads. June Conant, Leilani Bronson-Crelly and Bruce Derrick spear headed getting the hui set up for ice, water, food, and calling for volunteers after Iselle.
What our board hasn't done is get the albezia eradication program going with those lot owners who have lots along our main drags. As I suggested in an earlier post, at least get the ball rolling on contacting those lot owners who have liabilities bc of their albezia trees.
Our VP/interim GM who was on the job for 7-8 mos didn't start eradicating the albezias on HPP easements either and it still isn't a priority w/the board. It's been brought up at least twice at board or membership mtgs but still nothing. Those albezias are also our liabiities. Yes, there are many albezias on our easements and on absent lot owners' lots, but they've got to start somewhere. Over a year's time we could've made some progress.
Empire building was more important...who was going to work in the office, and lastly who was going to be the GM, delay delay delay on that too, in order to meet the terms of someone's agenda.
Darryl Oliveira said it's up to the people to make sure they have at least 48 hrs of food, water and meds. He said it's not the board's responsibility. CERT is the intermediary between members and the civil defense and disaster relief organizations. CERT will monitor and assess the needs of the subdivisions and contact the appropriate organizations to assist. Mr Oliveira would've explained this to our membership had he been invited to speak at our last membership mtg.
