Evaluating the George W. Bush Presidency, Slideshow
Aloha `Oe conferees ~
Mahalo for sharing your mana`o during the 2009 “Evaluating the George W. Bush Presidency” conference which took place in Hilo last month from July 29-31, 2009.
Your presentations provided much insight into the different perspectives of academic analysis which collectively, provide a valuable framework for evaluating any political position at any point in time.
As the conference came to a conclusion, the dominant theme, (as it was percieved for us in the audience), was one of academic devotion to the science of politics toward a common goal of protecting the intent of our constitution.
A photo slideshow of the conference below features a few highlights – please feel free to send us any of your own photos or comments that you’d like to share online.
Mahalo a nui loa – come back soon!

Hazard Preparedness Pocket Card
Hawai‘i Island Chamber of Commerce, with support from Hawaii County Office of Research and Development, will be releasing the first printing of the “Hazard Preparedness Pocket Card”. This innovative educational tool will be distributed throughout the community and to visitors on the Big Island in a limited release edition at the end of March.
The first such tool of its kind, the Pocket Card, and the accompanying website http://hazardprep.com/ (under construction), will provide vital information on “HOW TO AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM” during a natural disaster.
Included in the guide is information on disaster preparedness actions in the event of tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, windstorms, rainfall, flooding, storm surge, high surf and volcanic hazards. Specific, and immediate instructions are recommended and the guide also containes a listing of medical facilities, fire stations, tsunami evacuation zones, radio stations. Information on basic disaster kits supplies is also provided.
With the help of Civil Defense and the USGS, Dr. Walter Dudley and the UHH Conference Center, have undertaken the project to provide as much comprehensive information as possible in this small and convenient Pocket Guide. With the invaluable support from the Big Island Visitor’s Bureau, commending the slogan of “We Prepare Because We Care”, KGMB, Hui Ka Ua and Green Collar Technologies, the informational guide will, hopefully, set a model for innovative delivery methodologies in terms of disaster mitigation.
The HICC Tourism Committee, Chaired by Judith Fox-Goldstein, undertook this project with the full enthusiasm and support of the HICC Board. Committed to sustainability and developing healthy communities, the HICC, once again, has taken a very pro-active lead in contributing to our community.
