Description
Aloha and welcome to Island Alert, the show where we get to know Kauai's first responders! In this episode, Max Richardson interviews Elton Ushio, the Emergency Management Administrator for the County of Kauai, about the Kauai Emergency Management Agency (KEMA).
They discuss the agency's mission, the biggest natural disaster risks facing Kauai (including hurricanes, tsunamis, and heavy rain events), and how KEMA prepares for them. Elton shares his unique career path to becoming the head of KEMA, and discusses the importance of whole-community preparedness. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Stay tuned for Part 2 next month! #Kauai #EmergencyManagement #IslandAlert #DisasterPreparedness #KEMA #Hawaii
