The First Responder Technology Campus project is a smart idea for Hawaii’s long-term future. Currently the various departments and agencies are located hodgepodge all over Oahu. There is a synergistic benefit to being at a central location for training and collaboration, and in close proximity with the military.

Mililani offers a location far away from the threat of climate change. Furthermore, Hawaii is the closest American soil to China and North Korea and threats from those hostile countries will only intensify.

Support for a first responder campus requires bold governmental leadership that shuts out all the noise and thinks strategically and proactively.
