The American Red Cross is recruiting disaster volunteers in Maui County in preparation for hurricane season, which starts on June 1st. “We need our communities prepared for disasters before they occur. One critical piece is to have trained volunteers on standby and ready to respond,” said Michele Liberty, Red Cross Maui County Director. “We encourage new volunteers to join the Red Cross ohana and support our mission of helping those in need.”
The Maui Red Cross is seeking volunteers to join our disaster response teams on Maui, Lanai and Molokai. From hurricanes to house fires, the Hawaii Red Cross responds to disasters statewide every 4 days. Whether it’s one displaced family or thousands of disaster victims, Hawaii Red Cross volunteers are there to help. This is what the Red Cross is about- neighbor helping neighbor- down the street, across the nation, and around the world. All disaster training is provided free of charge. If interested in becoming a Red Cross volunteer, the first step is to register online at http://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii To register, 1) click on ‘Volunteer’; and then 2) click on ‘Becoming a Volunteer’. Once applications are completed through the Volunteer Connection system, the Red Cross will contact interested individuals about signing up for basic disaster classes. Call the Maui Office at 808-244- 0051 with any questions, or for more information on the training.
Invitation to Attend 2nd Community Workshop on Source Water Protection for Maui County's Ag Sector - Tuesday 05/23

The event is open to the public and will engage participants in discussions regarding Best Management Practices (BMPs) intended to address Potentially Contaminating Activities (PCAs) that could pose risks to source water quality, including municipal and private wellheads. The workshop will be educational and interactive, and will offer opportunities for event participants to contribute to developing community based solutions intended to address source water protection for the Maui County agricultural sector. The concepts and recommendations emerging from these community discussions will be used as a basis to explore federal, state and county financial assistance opportunities for future source wa ter protection efforts.

The Maui Department of Water Supply has declared a Stage 1 water shortage in the Upcountry district of Maui, effective Sunday, April 9, 2017, due to reduced surface water flow and a lack of rain. At Stage 1, the water rates remain the same. Due to the lower than normal water levels, customers may notice a change in water taste and/or smell; however, the State Department of Health has determined that the water from Upcountry Maui is safe to drink. On-going testing continues to show an absence of harmful bacteria and other pathogens in the water; the Department of Water Supply will continue to monitor and test the water, and provide periodic updates. By law, the Director of Water Supply, with the approval of the Mayor, is authorized to declare a water shortage whenever the water supply becomes inadequate in any area in the County due to a period of drought, an infrastructure or mechanical malfunction, natural disaster, or other event causing a water shortage. A Stage 1 water shortage exists if the Director determines that anticipated water demand in an area is projected to exceed available water supply by 1-15%. Due to the declaration of a Stage 1 water shortage, all Upcountry water consumers are asked to conserve water and to avoid any unnecessary water use until further notice. Water conservation measures taken now could prevent the progression to a Stage 2 water shortage. For full details please see: MauiNow.com March 31, 2017 Here is a notice about the Maui Regional Board (HHSC) public meeting next week. This is an opportunity to ask questions about the transition to Kaiser and get information about our plans for the future.
