When a signalized intersection along our Pi’ilani Hwy has an outage, we are used to seeing MPD out controlling that intersection, but this morning at Ohukai Rd, that scenario of the blinking light had at least ten guys there. This announcement was released last week:

Joint Exercise with the Hawaii National Guard Taking Place Next Week

Wailuku, Maui – The Hawaii National Guard’s 93rd Civil Support Team along with the United States Coast Guard, paramedics, airport security, Maui police, and firefighters will be participating in large-scale emergency operations exercise beginning next week Monday, February 5, 2018.
