Hurricane preparedness event tomorrow

Tomorrow the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster group will conduct a Hurricane Preparedness Day at Kukui Grove Shopping Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mayor Bryan Baptiste along with representatives of the VOAD organization joined together to proclaim June Emergency Preparedness Month.

They believe disaster preparedness should be practiced on a daily basis.

To set the tone for the month, the Kukui Grove Shopping Center event will offer tips, advice, with informational handout material to help the community to be better prepared.

Statistically one person out of 10 has a disaster supplies kit organized and ready to go.

Kits and advice on how to assemble them will also be available at the event.
