Vibrant Hawaiʻi Resilience Conference Prepares Hawaiʻi Island Communities for Disaster
Response
HAWAIʻI ISLAND — Early forecasts are predicting a higher-than-normal hurricane season this
year. To help ensure communities across Hawaiʻi Island are prepared to respond, Vibrant Hawaiʻi
is hosting a Resilience Training Conference.
The Vibrant Hawaiʻi Resilience Conference will take place Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June
13 at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo. The two-day, in-person training is designed to help more
people know what to do and how to work together when disaster comes.
Community leaders, volunteers, healthcare professionals, nonprofit teams, faith-based
organizations, and business partners are invited to register for hands-on training in one of six
tracks: medical response and first aid, mental health and emotional care, volunteer and donation
coordination, shelter operations, long-term recovery, and maintaining food access during
disruptions.
Each track is led by seasoned professionals, ensuring participants are guided by real-world
experience and leave with a clear understanding of their role, the ability to demonstrate practical
response skills, and strong connections to a coordinated team they can rely on when responding
to an emergency in their community.
If you’ve ever wondered what your role could be in a disaster, this is a place to start.
