Episode Details

Honolulu’s CORE team is racing against time to clear encampments ahead of storms, visiting neighborhoods like Waipahu, Pearl City, and Makiki to urge residents to relocate for safety—after past disasters showed how deadly flooding can be. They’re persistent, making multiple follow-ups even when people hesitate, driven by one goal: keeping lives safe before the weather hits. But it’s not just about storms—reports from Makiki reveal disturbing safety threats beyond weather, sparking community concern. Officials admit frustration is mounting, but they’re doubling down on solutions that support both residents and unhoused individuals, connecting them with services and shelter while managing immediate dangers. If you need help or have a concern, call CORE’s hotline for non-emergencies, dial 911 for life-threatening situations, or use HNL 311 online or via app.
