Organizations ‘Hui Up’ for Free Storm Prep Workshop

A new workshop will inform Maui residents on how to prepare their homes for severe weather events.

The free seminar, “Hui Up for Resiliency,” is a partnership between the University of Hawai’i Maui College and the Maui Electric Company that will feature presentations from construction industry professionals.

“With our islands experiencing more severe weather events, we always encourage the importance of being prepared and this includes reinforcing your homes and equipping your family for emergency situations,” Maui Electric president Sharon Suzuki said in a press release.

The workshop will be held on Dec. 14 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the University of Hawai’i Maui College campus in room 225 of the Laulima Building.

Those interested in attending must RSVP by email to [email protected] or by calling 872-3244 by Dec. 6. Reservations will be granted on a first come, first served basis.

Event organizers say the workshop is currently set for 30 attendees and that group reservations will not be accepted at this time.
