Pacific Disaster Center (PDC Global) is an applied research center managed by the University of Hawaii that supports the most demanding governmental and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide in helping to create a safer, more disaster resilient world. For more than 25 years, we’ve helped our partners enhance disaster management capacity, save lives, and reduce disaster losses through the application of our advanced tools and technologies, evidence-based research, and analytical information.
As always, we will be collecting donations for the MAUI FOOD BANK. They can stretch a dollar like no one else so checks sealed in envelopes are also welcome.
The surf schools and board rental businesses in and around Kalama Park are a sore spot with local resident surfers. On any given day they make it nearly impossible for resident surfers to utilize the park and it’s various surfing breaks. This “user conflict” was brought to the attention of county officials but nothing has been done to protect the interests of resident park users. The park and it’s adjacent surf breaks have become another public resource turned over to private business and the tourism industry.
