The County of Hawai‘i’s Disaster Recovery Division and County Council District 4 announce that the third quarterly Revitalize Puna community activation will be held virtually via Zoom from 4:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 11 due to the surge in COVID-19 cases.
The free virtual event will feature updates from County leadership on recovery from the 2018 Kīlauea eruption, updates on Resilience Capacity Areas and Action Teams, updates on the Pohoiki Boat Ramp from the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, information on Isaac Hale Beach Park investments, and more.
“Our teams have monitored the COVID-19 situation on our island for the last few weeks,” said Douglas Le, the County’s Disaster Recovery Officer. “After consulting with our community partners, we decided to switch from an in-person event to one that is fully virtual for Jan. 11. We believe this is the best decision given the surge in COVID-19 cases our communities are seeing island-wide. This virtual format will allow residents to participate comfortably and as fully as possible.”
Smaller in-person engagements are planned following the Jan. 11 Revitalize Puna event and will be announced shortly.
