Introduction

The role of the Civil Defense Agency is to direct and coordinate the development and administration of the County's total emergency preparedness and response program to ensure prompt and effective action when natural or man-caused disaster threatens or occurs anywhere in the County of Hawaii.

There is no volunteer component for the civil defense agency in Hawaii County.

Department Headquarters

The civil defense agency is located at 920 Ululani Street in Hilo.

Radio Communications

Statewide Yellow Net

State Civil Defense uses the Yellow Net radio frequency of 155.715 MHz, call sign KTI 87, and originate at the Birkheimer Tunnels in Diamond Head, Oahu.

County Civil Defense Operations

County civil defense radio communications is on VHF.  I will need to confirm which frequencies are in use before posting them on here.

Siren Warning Network and EAS

A warning network consisting of sirens and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) is tested on the first state working day of each month.  The EAS can be monitored on 161.640 MHz.

FM Radio Broadcasts

The county government uses FM broadcast radio to issue civil defense bulletins in regards to various types of emergencies that may happen on the island -- not necessarily civil defense related, but anything that is of public interest and concern: road closures, high surf, weather messages, etc.  Such broadcasts end with the message, "This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense..."
