Cadets had the opportunity to wear the goggles for a class discussing the consequences of substance abuse. She said: "I found this class interesting because it is important to spread awareness of the effects of substance abuse, and to give the cadets an opportunity to safely experience its effects hands-on."

I just got off the phone with @GovJoshGreenMD – following a call with @FEMA_Deanne – to discuss Hawai'i's recovery after the deadliest wildfire in a century that has claimed 99 lives. I reassured the Governor that Hawai'i will continue to have everything it needs from the federal government, and directed Administrator Criswell to keep surging resources and personnel as long as it takes. Every asset they need will be there for them.
