- DOH Release: COVID-19 Daily Update (March 8, 2020)
Second presumptive positive case on Oahu Today, the Hawai'i Department of Health (DOH) has a second presumptive positive test result for an elderly adult who is hospitalized in serious condition on O'ahu. The individual felt ill on March 2 in Washington State and traveled home to Honolulu on March 4. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been notified and trace back investigations are being conducted. The O'ahu hospital has taken protective and preventive measures and is working with healthcare workers to ensure health and safety. Information is still being gathered and as more information becomes available, the public will be advised. The first presumptive positive case was announced yesterday. That individual was a passenger on the Grand Princess cruise in Mexico from Feb. 11-21. After arriving in Mexico, the individual traveled home to Honolulu with no symptoms. While home in Honolulu, the individual became ill on March 1, sought medical care and was tested on March 6. The individual is currently isolated at home and is being monitored daily by DOH. The department is conducting a detailed trace investigation to identify, notify, and provide guidance to all close contacts as quickly as possible. Grand Princess cruise ship To date, there have been 21 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (19 crew members and 2 passengers) on the Grand Princess cruise ship that made port calls to Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai on Feb. 26, Honolulu Harbor on Feb. 27, Lahaina, Maui on Feb. 28, and Hilo on Feb. 29. The ship is currently held off the coast of California and additional testing of all passengers and crew is pending. The Department of Health is working closely with the CDC to notify any passengers in Hawai'i and trace all close contacts. The public is advised that exposure risk to tour operators and other hospitality services who interact with visitors on cruises is low. Companies should work on finding out which specific employees actually had close contact (close personal face-to-face contact for more than 10 minutes) with Grand Princess cruise passengers. DOH is contacting companies to gather this information. Companies are advised to notify their workers that there have been individuals from the Grand Princess cruise who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and the overall risk to hospitality workers is low. State Laboratories Division testing The Hawai'i Department of Health is capable of conducting in-state testing for up to 250 individuals per week for COVID-19. Results can be ready within 24-48 hours of a sample being collected. This enhances the state’s prevention and mitigation response capabilities to further safeguard the health of people in Hawai'i. It is anticipated that private and clinical labs in California and Hawai'i may have testing capability as early as next week. COVID-19 Summary of Numbers as of March 8, 2020 (updated as new information becomes available) Number of Presumptive Positive or Confirmed Case(s) 2 Number of Persons Under Investigation (current, testing pending) 0 Number of Persons Under Investigation (closed, testing negative) 15 Number of Persons Under Quarantine 0 Number of Persons Self-Monitoring with DOH supervision 75 Of the 75 individuals who are self-monitoring with public health supervision, 68 are on Oahu, 2 are on Hawai'i Island, 4 are on Maui, and 1 is on Kauai. These numbers fluctuate often as travelers arrive, depart, or begin and end their self-monitoring with supervision by DOH. Presumptive Positive: A presumptive positive result is when a patient has tested positive by a public health laboratory, but results are pending confirmation at CDC. For public health purposes, a presumptive positive result using the CDC test is treated as a positive. Confirmed: Meets CDC criteria and positive test result received from a certified laboratory. Person Under Investigation (PUI): Meets CDC criteria for investigation and testing pending. Quarantine: Individuals are required to remain in a designated location and separated from others. They are actively monitored by Department of Health staff. Quarantine is enforceable by law. Monitoring: Individuals voluntarily remain at home and refrain from work, school, gathering places, and public transit. They communicate daily with Department of Health staff. Guidance for schools and childcare programs The CDC recently posted interim guidance for administrators of childcare programs and K-12 schools to plan, prepare, and respond to COVID-19. School closures have taken place in Japan and South Korea. Business continuity planning State and county agencies are actively preparing for continuity of business operations to deal with the potential impact of COVID-19. The goal is to enable ongoing operations during a public health emergency. To address concerns about workers who have traveled to China, DOH developed a list of frequently asked questions and answers to guide local businesses. National travel advisories Before traveling, review Travel Advisories and Alerts for destination(s) at www.travel.state.gov/destination. The State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide specific advice to travelers on their websites. Precautions for Elderly The Department of Health is advising elderly and individuals with chronic health conditions to avoid large gatherings and avoid non-essential travel at this time. Preventing the spread of misinformation and disease The Department of Health is committed to sharing information as it becomes available. People are urged not to spread misinformation or inaccurate statements that are not confirmed, and keep updated and informed on the situation. Everyone can help prevent the spread of respiratory illness with these everyday actions. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from illnesses, including COVID-19. Keep in mind that supplies are limited and we need to make sure there are enough masks for our front-line health care workers. If you are sick then wear a mask to protect the people around you. Prepare for the possibility that people may want to stay home or may be asked to stay home to prevent the spread of illness. If you have daily medication needs, have more than a week’s supply on hand and have as much on hand as your insurance will allow you to have. Not everyone can afford to stock up on supplies or has the space to store them, but anything you can arrange in advance means one less inconvenience or one less trip to the store while you are sick. Make family plans for the possibility of school or day care closures. Do some contingency planning in advance at the family level. Sign up for public notifications at health.hawaii.gov/news/covid-19-updates Screening of arriving passengers at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu Foreign nationals who have traveled to mainland China and Iran within the last 14 days are being denied entry into the U.S. This includes not only people with a China or Iran passport, but all foreign nationals per Department of Homeland Security guidance. The exception is U.S. citizens, legal permanent U.S. residents or their immediate family. Enhanced screening procedures are in place at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport for passengers who have traveled to China and Iran within the last 14 days. Airport passenger screening continues to be conducted by federal authorities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). #COVID19 #Coronavirus #DOH #Health #WorldHealthOrganization #DailyUpdate #HawaiiSenate
- Committees hold informational briefing on status of telecommunication services on Hawaiian Homeland
The Senate Committees on Technology and Hawaiian Affairs will hold an informational briefing to review the current status of telecommunications services and opportunities on Hawaiian home lands that will include an update on the Sandwich Isles legal proceedings. The briefing will be held in conference room 016 on Thursday, March 5, 2020, from 1:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. The briefing will also discuss the Federal Communications Commission 2.5 GHz Rural Tribal Priority Window. The 2.5 GHz frequency band is suitable for both mobile coverage and fixed point-to-point uses and could play an important role in the deployment of broadband and other advanced communication services on tribal lands. In January 2020, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and the Governor requested that the FCC designate Hawaiian home lands as eligible for the auction. This request represents a unique opportunity for communities in rural areas to obtain access to important connectivity solutions that are being leveraged in tribal communities across the country. All hearings of the Committee on Technology will be live streamed on the Hawaii Senate YouTube page. #HawaiiSenate #FCC #Telecommunications #HawaiianHomelands #HawaiiStateLegislature #HawaiianAffairs #Technology

- Senate pass housing and education bills from joint legislative package on 3rd reading
The Hawai'i State Senate passed two bills on third reading that are part of the 2020 joint legislative package to provide real economic benefits for Hawai‘i’s working-class families and individuals. The bills aim to develop leasehold housing and provide tax exemptions for developers to build market price homes, to fund infrastructure development near rail stations in West O'ahu and on the neighbor islands, and to establish the School Facilities Agency to be responsible for all public school development, planning, and construction. They are: Senate Bill 3104, Senate Draft 2, relating to Land Development. It establishes a residential leasehold program within the Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC). It exempts from the definition of public lands, lands set aside by the Governor or leased by any state department or agency to the HHFDC, for the primary purposes of developing affordable housing. It requires the HHFDC to submit a report to the Legislature that identifies all state lands that may be developed for multi-unit dwellings. It requires the HHFDC to submit a report to the Legislature that addresses various housing concerns, including the steps necessary to end the State’s housing shortage. It authorizes the issuance of $275 million in general obligation bonds, with proceeds used for the establishment of infrastructure to support the development of housing. It appropriates $500,000 for 3 full-time equivalent project manager positions. It authorizes a person to petition the appropriate county land use decision-making authority, rather than the Land Use Commission, for a change in the boundary of a district involving land areas between 15 acres and 25 acres where the majority of the development will be for affordable housing. It authorizes the State Historic Preservation Division to delegate the responsibility of historic preservation project reviews to the impacted county. It establishes the Office of the Housing Advocate, and removes the existing statutory cap on the amount of conveyance tax revenues that are deposited into the rental housing revolving fund each fiscal year. Senate Bill 3103, Senate Draft 2, relating to a School Facilities Agency. It establishes the agency to be responsible for all public school development, planning, and construction, related to capital improvement projects assigned by the Legislature, Governor, or Board of Education, places management of school impact fees with the agency, and appropriates funds. #Housing #Education #JointLegislativePackage #Rail #SB3104 #SB3103 #ThirdReading
- THE HAWAI‘I BIG TREE COMPETITION IS ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR THE SPRING 2020 SEASON
As we near the spring season it marks the beginning of the annual Hawai‘i Big Tree Competition. The Big Tree Competition is sponsored by the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) and nonprofit organization American Forests. This competition aims to spotlight the largest trees of native species recognized in the registry, as well as raise awareness about the importance of healthy trees and forests. This year, the National Register of Big Trees represents 679 species across 45 states and the District of Columbia. Currently, the American Forests database identifies 21 tree species for the State of Hawai‘i, 13 of which are endemic to the islands. While we continue to find new champions for the database yearly, we still have not crowned a champion for every recognized tree. The community is invited to find new champion trees for undiscovered species as well as existing species. Three elusive trees– the A’e, Kokiʻo ʻula, and Wauke–have yet to be crowned in the Hawai‘i Big Tree Competition. If nominated, one of these trees will likely be crowned a National Champion. To replace a current champion, the challenger tree must have more total points. Points are calculated using trunk circumference, height, and crown spread measurements. Total Points = Trunk Circumference (inches) + Height (feet) + ¼ Average Crown Spread (feet). To nominate a tree, contact the Hawai‘i Big Tree Coordinator Brayden Aki at 808-587-0164 or email: fw.adm1.ekahi.intern@hawaii.gov and provide the tree height, trunk circumference, and average crown spread, in addition to the tree’s specific location (GPS coordinates are appreciated).

- New Administrator named for Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency
State of Hawai'i Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Kenneth S. Hara, has named Luke P. Meyers, former executive officer for Hawai'i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), as the new administrator for HI-EMA effective March 15, 2020. Former administrator, Tom L. Travis, announced his resignation in January and will remain on staff to provide continuity assistance until March 31, 2020. “Tom came in as the HI-EMA administrator at a critical point for our state and he did an amazing job in a very short time,” said Hara. “Tom restored confidence following successful responses to disasters in 2018.” In 2018, Travis led HI-EMA in the face of historic rains that swept over the counties of Kaua'i and East Oʻahu causing severe flooding and mudslides. Kīlauea erupted with lava flows that resulted in the devastation of over 700 homes. During the same year the state also responded to Tropical Cyclones Lane and Olivia. “It has been an honor to serve the people of Hawai'i and keep them safe,” said Travis. “I am certain I leave the well-being of our islands in more than capable hands.” As HI-EMA’s Executive Officer, Meyers was responsible for administrative management, fiscal monitoring, legislative coordination, and disaster mitigation, as well as many other duties. “Luke’s emergency management education, prior emergency management positions and experience gained as HI-EMA’s executive officer definitely prepared him for the challenging role as the administrator for HI-EMA,” said Hara. Meyers’ professional experience includes several federal, state, local, and non-profit entities, including: the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Islands Water Science, American Red Cross Mt. Rainier Chapter, FEMA Region X, Pierce County Department of Emergency Management, City of Bellevue as City Emergency Manager and City of Seattle as a Strategic Advisor. He has also served as a City Council member for the City of Edgewood, and a Board Member of the Mt. View-Edgewood Water Company. “I am honored to have this opportunity to lead the Hawai'i Emergency Management Agency,” Meyers said. “There is a solid team in place and Tom has established a strong foundation for our State Emergency Management Program. I look forward to strengthening the resilience and disaster preparedness for Hawai'i.” #LukeMeyers #KennethHara #TomTravis #HIEMA #HawaiiEmergencyManagementAgency #DisasterMitagation #HawaiiSenate
