Shafter Moanalua Gardens Moanalua Valley Halawa Aiea Senator Donna Mercado Kim Selected as Senate President Senate Vice President Donna Mercado Kim (Sen. District 14) has been selected as the President of the Senate and will preside during the 27th Hawaii State Legislature, which will convene on January 16, 2013. Senator Ronald D. Kouchi (Sen. District 8) will serve as Senate Vice President. Senator David Ige (Sen. District 16) will continue as Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, with Senator Michelle Kidani (Sen. District 18) serving as his Vice Chair. On Dec. 27, 2012, former state Senate President Shan S. Tsutsui accepted the position of Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii, effective immediately under the order of succession. The office was vacated on Dec. 26, 2012 by the appointment of former Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to the U.S. Senate. The Senate acted quickly to organize after Maui State Senator Shan Tsutsui (Sen. District 5) took the oath of office as Lieutenant Governor yesterday. The Senate line up remains mostly intact to allow members continuity in their committee work as the Senate has been preparing for the upcoming session. "We are solidified in dealing with the pressing issues facing our State. The Senate continues to be organized in a cooperative and focused manner. I’m humbled to receive the confidence and support of my colleagues" said Senate President Kim. "We reached an agreement quickly so that we can continue to focus our attention on the issues and begin preparations for the 2013 session," said Senate Vice President Kouchi.

CASCO Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa TABLE OF CONTENTS 01 02 03 PURPOSE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE IN THE LEG OVERVIEW Why this resource A review of climate change An assessment and analysis was created for you indicators, impacts, and case of climate-related studies on advocacy initiatives initiatives in the 2019 in the Pacific region Hawaiʻi State Legislature 04 05 06 KEY INSIGHTS + RESOURCES + TOOLS APPENDICES STRATEGIES Sharing advocacy insights Materials to help you get Supporting data and and strategies from started: step-by-step information community members and guides, worksheets, and seasoned environmental resources advocates 2 01 PURPOSE Why this resource was created for you 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WELINA MAI Welcome to the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor! Despite the importance of environmental advocacy in ensuring effective decision-making processes and outcomes, smaller community-based resource stewardship organizations in Hawaiʻi often lack the skills, tools, guidance, and capacity to organize their own advocacy plans and strategies. This lack of support has made it difficult to protect and fulfill their environmental interests through an inability to participate in policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels. There is a need to support these groups to develop their own advocacy frameworks and plans, which will ensure their ability to express their views on climate change and natural resource issues that impact them. This resource seeks to support small community-based natural resource organizations in Hawaiʻi to more effectively participate in climate change and natural resource policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels.

    SENATE DISTRICT 18 COMMUNITY REPORT JUNE 2021 – Serving Mililani Town, Waipio Gentry, Waikele, Village Park & Royal Kunia Aloha Friends and Neighbors, June has welcomed exciting strides for the state of Hawaiʻi after a tumultuous year. We have officially entered Tier 4 this month and continue to celebrate these milestones with the ease in restrictions as vaccination rates continue to rise. Some of these changes include social gatherings outdoors of up to 25 people, indoor gatherings of up to 10, indoor sports with spectators up to 33% capacity and more. It has been heartening to see these changes take effect as a long-awaited rewarded for our commitment to public health and community. I am excited for the changes yet to come with the appointment of bold, innovative leaders like Senator Lynn DeCoite and the Hawai’i Department of Education’s new interim superintendent, Keith Hayashi. They have demonstrated incredible dedication and leadership throughout the pandemic and have helped guide our keiki and communities through our hardships. I am eager to contine our great work together to further the progress we have made and to see the people of Hawai’i thrive as they deserve. June is also the start of hurricane season, and it is more important than ever to be prepared for any case of emergency. Each year we see the changing environment of our islands affected by the likes of droughts, fires, hurricanes and tsunamis, and we must make SENATE efforts to keep ourselves safe and prepared before these potential risks are on the horizon. In VICE PRESIDENT doing so, I have included a wealth of information from the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency on emergency preparedness.
