Aloha Friends, a brief message from Zion Estes producer of the 2012 Are You Ready event.  As we look around us we can truly appreciate the growing concern of our families and friends as each aspect of our island infrastructure is becoming more fragile. Messages through the media and related sources indicate that there are major changes taking place in our environments both global and local. To question ourselves if we are prepared for any disaster (natural or man made) is no longer an option… By supporting each other as basic human beings in Hawaii we can present a unified effort of “preparedness” for the challenges that are still to come.
