Messages from the Managers
Tsunami We were fortunate to avoid any damages here at TKB. Again, Kahala Beach came together as a community helping one another. Special thanks to Securitas and the Kahala Resort for assisting our people during the tsunami event.
Recommendations for Disaster Preparedness Kit When preparing a disaster preparedness kit, first plan for the essentials for survival. Think practical first, and think comfortable second. All essential needs should be able to fit in a 5 gallon bucket. Absolute necessities include food, water, and warmth. Other Needs After considering your most basic needs, consider additional necessities to include in your emergency preparedness kit. When making additions to your family emergency kit, keep in mind that it should be easily transportable, accessible, and close to an exit of the building. While you can never be too ready or too prepared, you do not want to over burden yourself when you need to be on the move.
For additional information on emergency preparedness refer to the front of the white pages of your telephone book or you may consult with the checklists from the FEMA Ready.gov and American Red Cross websites provided below to deter-mine your planning needs. Also, you may pick up the “Handbook for Emergency Preparedness” at the Security booth. The handbook has emergency phone numbers, how to prepare for an emergency and what actions to take in case
of a hurricane, flood, power outage etc. Reminder– hurricane season lasts from the beginning of June until the end of November. http://www.redcross.org/

Lease Since our last report in November 2010, there have
been more than a half a dozen meetings with
Kamehameha Schools. The committee continues to
work with various representatives of Kamehameha
developing our relationship and mutual education
regarding each parties specific areas of concerns
about the future of The Kahala Beach. While we
don't always agree, there has been a healthy give
and take. We are encouraged by the open dialogue
that has developed over the past year and believe
we are on track with our expectations.
He ali‘i nō ka ‘āina, ke kauwā wale ke kanaka
TRANSLATION: The land is the chief, the people merely servants
EXPLANATION: This indicates the service relationship, with the needs of the land coming first; and once these are satisfied, the land can support the people living upon it.

In The Community
The Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) (http://
pvs.kcc.hawaii.edu/)was founded in 1973 initially to
carry out an experiment that would help answer
some questions: how did the Polynesians settle the
far-flung islands of the mid-Pacific – by accident or
by design? Did their canoes and their knowledge of
navigation enable them to sail purposefully over the
vast sea distances between Pacific islands?
PVS began with the building of a replica of a Hawai-
ian voyaging canoe, Hōkūle‘a, launched in 1975, and
began the journey to explore the seafaring heritage
and the voyaging routes of their ancestors. Since its
first voyage to Tahiti in 1976, PVS has journeyed to
the far corners of the Pacific; from Alaska to New
Zealand; from California to Japan. The Hōkūle‘a and
her crew have successfully explored the ocean, re-
discovering and perpetuating through the practice
Hawaiian voyaging traditions and values, bring to-
gether communities throughout the Pacific.
Currently PVS is preparing to circumnavigate the globe on a 4 year journey, to mutually educate, in-troduce Hawaiian culture, and the basic tenant of “malama ka ‘aina”, to care for and live in harmony with the land; through the implementation of con-servation and sustainable use.
