Check on Your Kūpuna — Pass It On

Start with people you already know: grandparents, aunties and uncles, family friends, or a neighbor your family already trusts.

Why It Matters

Most Hawaiʻi households learn about preparedness from family and friends, not from official channels.3 About 1 in 4 unprepared households said they simply weren’t properly informed.2 Kūpuna and people who rely on medical equipment are among those most at risk when supplies or power run out.

Sit Down Together

A few friendly questions to ask:

  • “If the power was out for two weeks, do you have enough medicine?”
  • “Who would you call if you couldn’t reach me?”
  • “Do you need help evacuating?”
  • “Does any of your medical equipment need electricity?”
  • “Where would we meet if we got separated?”
