The next Revitalize Puna event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, at the Billy Kenoi Pahoa District Park Gym.
Come connect with government officials and community leaders working on eruption recovery and resilience projects in Puna.
County, state and federal leaders will be there to update the public about ongoing eruption recovery efforts and share their insights on the challenges and opportunities in the Puna region.
Plus, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources will give an update on the Pohoiki Boat Ramp restoration progress.
Puna community police officers will be conducting keiki ID services. This is a valuable opportunity for parents and guardians to have their children’s identification cards created and registered with law enforcement.
There also will be updates about the Resilience Capacity Areas, or RCAs. These multi-sector groups are the driving force behind Puna’s recovery efforts, and they’re eager to share their progress with you.
With a focus on collaboration and innovation, the RCAs are implementing projects outlined in the Kilauea Recovery and Resilience Plan, which supports three key strategies: recovery, readiness and resilience.
The six RCAs cover a range of areas, including social, cultural, economic, natural environment and youth.
Resilience Resource Row also will be featured at the event and will showcase a variety of pop-up displays from local nonprofit organizations that focus on mental wellness.
To honor the 5th anniversary of the Kilauea eruption, there will be a special emphasis on mental wellness. T
he Youth RCA and Resource Row will be providing a range of information and fun activities aimed at promoting mental well-being.
Revitalize Puna event is free. All residents interested in learning more about Puna’s recovery and contributing to its resilience are welcomed to attend.
