I wonder if Dana would have survived had Medical Response come in a timely manner after the Waa Waa resident who found her reported her situation. Nice to have a fire station etc in Puna now… eh? Hilo was too far away. She is one of a few known people who have been dumped there after these criminals committed their crimes elsewhere. There was a man killed in Nanawale Estates and his body and car were driven down to Waa Waa and burned on one of the vacant beach lots driveways. Another such messed up situation I was told is what caused the beach access trail to be abandoned and left to grow over. So… yes there is talk about how to put a stop to such activity.
A paved road won’t fly, but there are other alternatives.
As per burglars getting caught before they get to a house... that has happened a time or two from what I've heard. Because of the relative remoteness (approximately 2 miles each direction nothing but forest) there's a double edge sword. Residents know if you don't belong and outsiders think that it’s so remote no-one will notice them. So it’s a plus and a minus, depends on how you look at it.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
She would have survived if Waa Waa had a paved road and phone service.
There was a fire station in Pahoa at the time.They were on another call.It happens all the time.
