The End Goal

Resilience Hub Network

Communities are more self-determining and implement hyper-local solutions that support residents before, during, and after disruptions to their essential needs and quality of life.

By implementing a networked approach to building statewide resilience, neighboring communities build relationships, share resources, and are able to respond to one another’s needs.

Trainings

Vibrant Hawaiʻi’s certified First-Aid CPR and AED Instructors are fully prepared to offer free workshops throughout the island.

Psychological First Aid

Basic Safety/Field Maintenance and Felling Certification

These training sessions are a proactive effort to help residents across Hawaiʻi Island become better equipped to independently support their neighbors, ʻohana, and each other.
