The Maui County Maui Emergency Management Agency is encouraging community members to attend the annual Emergency Preparedness Expo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 9 at the Queen Kaʻahumanu Center in Kahului.

The free event will bring together partnering agencies and organizations to provide the public with emergency preparedness education, resources and hands-on information to help build resilience across Maui Nui.

“Maui County has faced significant challenges in recent years, including wildfires, tsunami warnings and, more recently, three storms within a single month,” MEMA Administrator Amos Lonokailua-Hewett said. “Our Emergency Preparedness Expo 2026 is one way for residents to learn readiness tips for floods, tsunamis, wildfires and other emergencies.”

Emergency Preparedness Expo 2026 participants can expect:

• Emergency preparedness education and community resources

• Guest speakers and preparedness presentations

• Prizes and giveaways

• Information booths from more than 30 partnering agencies

• Assistance with MEMA Alert signups and Genasys Protect app downloads
