Description

The next Revitalize Puna is set for Saturday, February 4 at Pāhoa District Park Gym. Stop by anytime between 10am and 2pm to connect with Government and community leaders working on eruption recovery and resilience projects in Puna. County, State, and Federal leaders will be on hand to provide updates on eruption recovery and speak to challenges as well as opportunities for the Puna region. The State Department of Land and Natural Resources will be present to provide a status update on the restoration of Pohoiki Boat Ramp. Revitalize Puna Resilience Capacity Areas will provide updates on their recovery efforts and share opportunities for Puna residents to get involved. Resilience Capacity Areas (RCAs) are multi sector groups that work to implement projects identified in the Kilauea Recovery and Resilience Plan supporting three strategies: recovery, readiness, and resilience. Implementation of the plan is organized around collaboration between six RCAs: Social, Cultural, Economic, Natural Environment, and Youth. Each RCA is led by Co-Chairs from the community and County. A Resilience Resource Row will feature pop-ups from local nonprofits and volunteer opportunities to get involved in to make a positive difference in Puna. Keiki crafts, and free lunch plates are planned! The activation is free. All residents interested in learning more about Puna's recovery and contributing to its resilience are welcome! The February 4th activation is the seventh convening in the Revitalize Puna series, which is co-hosted by the Kīlauea Recovery Team and Council District 4. The goal of the activation is to bring community and County together regularly to share information and perspectives, build relationships, and increase trust and collaboration. Let's stay connected!
