Today’s Honolulu Community Media Council luncheon revealed improvements in how Oahu’s Department of Emergency Management (formerly Oahu Civil Defense) and the local media are preparing to respond to future emergencies. We’ll detail those improvements in posts to CHORE in the next couple days while also focusing on issues revealed in the discussion that seemingly could stand more work.
The remarks of panelists Chuck Cotton, Mark Platte, Michael Titterton, John Cummings and CHORE’s writer were complemented by audience comments from the floor. All in all, it was an exceptionally successful beginning to the “new” Media Council's year, with many more compelling programs to come.
And “to come” is our slug to end this post. Mahalo for all who attended and filled the room today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for more.
