AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHurricane Readiness: Hurricane Nolo stayed nearly stationary south of the Big Island, keeping Hawaii under hurricane watch, tropical storm warnings, flood watches and high-surf advisories; officials opened multiple Hawaiʻi County shelters and reported no major power outages so far, while crews built berms and warned of flash flooding, mudslides and downed trees. Emergency Funding: Gov. Josh Green said President Trump approved a pre-landfall Presidential Emergency Declaration for Nolo, unlocking federal help for Honolulu and all neighbor islands at a 75% cost share for protective measures. North Shore Infrastructure: Honolulu EMS held a traditional blessing and groundbreaking for a new Kahuku EMS station, replacing a small 1997-era facility with a larger, safer 3,000+ sq ft site including decontamination space. Waste & Water Safety: DOH reported PFAS detections at Fort Shafter’s water system on Oʻahu (low levels of PFHxS/PFHxA), and the HI-5 bottle program hit $105M in its fund as redemption centers remain inconvenient or scarce. Local Food & Farming: Kauai Shrimp will close its Kekaha operations after Hurricane Lowell damage, while Hawaii’s food banks are preparing for Nolo. Transit Budget: HART reviewed a tentative $651.8M FY2028 budget, with major cuts tied to shifting capital spending toward Pearl Highlands and park-and-ride projects. Tech & Health: Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg donated $1.48M to Wilcox Medical Center for a mobile MRI and new 3D mammography during renovations.
