Thank you to all participating hubs, guests, and sponsors!

Over two days, representatives from resilience hubs, state departments, emergency programs, and interest groups came together to strengthen an island wide resilience network in Oahu. Both new and experienced hubs acquired foundational skills and knowledge, along with the tools needed to coordinate resources, strengthen neighborhood connections, and activate their hubs when the community needs them most , along with the opportunity to connect with the community in preparation for hurricane season and to uphold long term resilience.
