Panel 2 included community leaders who are at the forefront of the Shut Down Red Hill movement to discuss the significant and pressing issues our water sources and communities are currently facing as a result of the Navy’s fuel leak at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. The panel addressed questions such as: What enabled the Red Hill crisis to occur? Given the multiple agencies responsible for water in Hawaiʻi, what were the breakdowns that led us to where we are today? What are the current updates on Red Hill and how can communities ensure the safety of Oʻahu’s water?
Panelists: Ernie Lau (Board of Water Supply), Wayne Tanaka (Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi) and Camille Kalama (Kaʻohewai). Moderated by UH Mānoa Professor Kapua Sproat (Ka Huli Ao).
