    Hawaii Matters - Prepare NOW & Safe Ride Hawaii

    On today's episode, we tackle two important topics. First Michael T talks to Emily Gordon from the Dept. of Health. She reminds us to prepare for emergencies from a health and wellness perspective. Surviving in an emergency situation is more than food, water, and shelter. There are a lot more things to remember. There's medication, refrigeration, kids activities, radios, and lots more. Then, Kathy With a K visits with Chanda Park, the co-founder of Safe Ride Hawaii. They want to keep Hawaii's roads free of drunk drivers, especially during and after major events. SRH provides transportation for you and your vehicle when you're impaired.
