Last update: 9 hours ago

Disaster Response & Power: USACE appointed Lt. Col. Simratpal Singh to lead the Super Typhoon Sinlaku recovery field office, bringing deep emergency power experience to help restore electricity across the Northern Mariana Islands, including Tinian. Local Business Relief: SBA reminded Hawaii businesses, private nonprofits, and residents that the June 14 deadline is coming for low-interest disaster loans tied to March 10–24 storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides. Native Hawaiian Governance & Media: The OHA Board of Trustees voted down exploring a purchase of KITV-KIKU, rejecting $172,000 in confidential due diligence and citing other priorities. Higher Education Leadership: UH President Wendy Hensel recommended Vassilis Syrmos as UH Mānoa chancellor; if approved June 4, he would start July 1. Workforce Development: Honolulu’s Office of Economic Revitalization will host a free Leeward Oʻahu career fair June 4 in Waipahu High School, with hiring employers and on-site resume help. Energy & Grid Resilience: A Tinian power-plant outage after Sinlaku required large-scale temporary generator power delivered by USACE and partners while permanent restoration continues. Science & Industry Talent: UH astronomers helped grant a Haleakalā telescope visit to a Make-A-Wish teen, highlighting Hawaii’s role in STEM outreach. Agriculture & Local Industry: Kawamoto Orchid Nursery in Pālolo Valley shared its multi-generation growth from a hobby into a shipping operation with six growing structures. Policy Watch: Rep. Jill Tokuda backed a bipartisan rural hospital bill offering interest-free USDA loans for up to 10 years to build and renovate facilities.
