Original story:
The Red Hill Registry, facilitated by the University of Hawaiʻi, invites the public to a town hall from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on January 26, at Los Banos Hall at Keʻehi Lagoon Memorial State Park.
The event may be attended in person for the first 100 individuals who sign up at the website. Those unable to attend in person or who prefer to attend virtually/online can also sign up online.
The town hall will provide updates on the Red Hill Registry’s progress, opportunities to share stories and collaborative exercises to identify community priorities related to the registry. Refreshments will be provided for in-person participants.
There will also be an opportunity to nominate up to eight people who can become members of the registry’s community advisory workgroup. Nominations can be submitted at this website.
This town hall event marks an important milestone in the development of the Red Hill Registry to connect those impacted by the Red Hill water crisis to resources and track health impacts over time. The registry is expected to launch in mid-2025.
“The Red Hill Registry is committed to ensuring the community’s voice is at the center of every Registry effort,” said Tara Sutton, director of community engagement for the Red Hill Registry. “We want the Registry to be a resource that truly serves those impacted by the Red Hill water crisis.”
