Given the dangers posed by hurricanes to all of Hawaii during the active hurricane season from June 1 through Nov. 30, the governor’s office needs a special emergency office to coordinate decisions with local jurisdictions on all islands when it comes to enabling or turning on sirens during an emergency, like the most recent one in Maui.
In addition, state officials in charge of emergency declarations need to curtail any meetings outside of Hawaii during the year’s hurricane season. Officials need to be around during the season as a precaution.
