Announcement
Free Homeowner’s Handbook Now AvailableMay 18 marked the beginning of hurricane awareness week in Hawai'i and this is the time to gather information on protecting your family and property from a hurricane before such a storm strikes our shores. This is also the time to take those critical, potentially life-saving steps toward safeguarding your home in the event of a devastating storm.
The Homeowner’s Handbook to Prepare for Natural Hazards, published by the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant College Program, provides detailed information on how to prepare your home for a hurricane and other natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods. The handbook outlines small and cost-effective steps that can significantly reduce the risks of damage and loss due to a natural hazard.
Due to an overwhelming response from the public, all printed copies from the initial printing were distributed within a very short time. Thanks to generous support from the State Civil Defense Agency, funding was made available to re-print this free publication.
The popularity and pertinence of the handbook has prompted local Wal-Mart stores to make copies available to customers.
Free printed copies of the handbook are available for pick-up at Manoa's Sea Grant College Program. A $5 shipping and handling fee will apply to mailed orders. The handbook is also available for free online at the Sea Grant College Program website.
