To have supplies and communications protocols ready to coordinate relief effort within the community while we wait for first responders and/or provide volunteer support for first responders and other government agencies post disaster. In 2021, the pandemic prevented our organization from conducting any kind of in-person training events. Instead, Be Ready Manoa sponsored online webinars on Hardening Your Home for Hurricanes (10+ individuals attended) and Understanding Home and Other Types of Insurance (8 individuals attended). We were given a grant by the Hawaii Community Foundation - which was used to purchase equipment for Be Ready Manoa's Incident Command Center. BRM then held a mock Incident Command Center set-up at a local school where 8 individuals participated (everyone had to confirm they were vaccinated and keep a minimum of 6 feet of distance during the mock set-up). 0 0 2022 Program Highlights: BRM held a Tonga Tsunami Relief Drive and collected donated cash/goods that were given to the local church that was spearheading the overall relief effort; BRM held several community events to promote disaster preparedness (Online Webinar on the 2022 Hurricane Season; Hurricane Information Booth at the local shopping mall; Communications practice - where we ask residents to use their FRS and HAM radios; Annual Disaster Preparedness Fair); BRM held a mock Incident Command Center to practice the set up of the ICC that will service the community post disaster (like a major hurricane). 0 0 In 2023, Be Ready Manoa conducted several events to promote disaster preparedness: Community Emergency Response Team training, Central Pacific Hurricane Season Forecast webinar in partnership with the National Weather Service, a Hurricane Preparedness Information Desk at the local shopping center, and a Maui Fire Donations drive (in lieu of doing our annual disaster preparedness fair). In addition, we conducted several communication network practice drills (where volunteers within a given sector of the neighborhood practices using their FRS or HAM radios). 0 0 0 Wes Oda President 4 0 0 0 Gaye Oshiro Vice President 4 0 0 0 Cathy Callejo Secretary 4 0 0 0 Rudy DeVre Treasurer 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 HI Wes Oda 3237 Keahi St Honolulu HI 96822 8082942499 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 300 14 7072 5305 42 12733 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 300 14 7072 5305 42 12733 12733 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 155 116 0 0 0 271 13004 0.97916 0.97137 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Be Ready Manoa T-Shirt Sales RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Food for Volunteer Events - 130.22; Solar Panel for Solar Powered Generator - 208.59; Internet Domain and Hosting Fees - 768.61; Elastic for Goggles and Nitrile Gloves for Training - 52.60; Emergency Blankets - 188.46; PO Box Fee - 216.00; Insurance - 230.00; return of deposit for use of District Park - (100.00)
