Panel Reveals Better Media Response Abilities While Leaving Room for More Improvement

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.

Once a Hurricane, Tropical Depression Cosme Provides Incentive to Stock Up on Batteries

CHORE has really let it slide this summer. We’re average only one post a month during hurricane season, a tipoff we’ve pretty much moved on and beyond the communications failures during and after Earthquake Sunday. Trouble is, so has everyone else, and there’s been virtually zero follow-up by the news media in recent months on how or whether October’s communications deficiencies have been corrected. We may not have the answers to all the questions that have been posted here at CHORE until the next emergency, which is not a comforting feeling. If all the radio and TV stations stay on the air during the next major power outage, we’ll know the stations’ staffs have done a responsible job in fixing their problems. If they go to dead air, we’ll be the losers then and there. COSME Comes Calling Tropical Depression Cosme, a one-day hurricane earlier this week, has winds estimated at 30 knots this afternoon that could strengthen to minimal tropical storm intensity as it approaches the Hawa

MISSION: To Ensure the Lahaina Fire Tragedy Will Be the Last Time Hawaii Emergency Management so Poorly Serves the Public

The cause of the August 2023 wildfire that destroyed Lahaina, Maui and killed at least 101 residents is still unknown at this writing. What was immediately obvious was the absence of any effective alert to the public. Authorities failed to activate the so-called "tsunami warning" siren system, even though it could have at least alerted residents to their peril. Many survivors angrily complained they received no warning whatsoever. Emergency communications planners must stay abreast of best practices in their field, just like doctors, scientists, professionals, and experts in all disciplines. Had officials within the Maui Emergency Management Agency implemented the lessons learned after California's major wildfires in the past decade, they would have been prepared to meaningfully respond to the wildfire's threat to Lahaina, CHORE and a companion website -- WildfireCrisis.com (loads slowly at the Internet's Wayback Machine archive ) -- have advocated major reforms

More than 100 Died in Lahaina Fire after Maui's Crisis Communications Plan Failed

This blog has promoted emergency communication reform since its first post on October 17, 2006. The evidence that reform is desperately needed builds with each wildfire tragedy, and the Lahaina, Maui fire during August 8-9 is the latest.   A continuing theme here at CHORE: W arning messages intended for a mass audience require a mass medium. No wildfire can outrun a radio broadcast. Radio is the fastest and most accessible mass medium for life-saving messages to the masses. Cell phone networks and other channels are nice to have, but they’re no substitute for fast-as-lightning AM radio, which rarely if ever fails during a wildfire. This isn’t rocket science, but as we’ve learned repeatedly in the past decade, far too many communications planners just don’t get it.    A Journalist Reports   A retired journalist who was vacationing on Maui has provided compelling validation of this blog’s promotion of AM radio as a key component of public agencies’ emergency communications plans.   Katy
