Josh Green, M.D. signed an Emergency Proclamation Friday to avoid loss of telecommunications services for hundreds of Hawaiian Home Lands households across the state. On May 30, 2024, Sandwich Isle Communications, a private company that provides phone and internet services to many customers on Hawaiian Home Lands, announced through an email to customers that services would cease on June 1, 2024. The termination of services could leave approximately 1,500 households and several business, schools, and other institutions on Hawaiian Home Lands without phone and/or internet services, according to department officials. #emergencymanagement #crisismanagement #risk
