Shelters- Should you be unable to use a radio or phone to find the nearest shelter, head to the nearest city. Emergency shelters are usually situated outside the cities to provide easy access by survivors and relief services. Do not worry about the the use of wood, fabric, and other seemingly weak material used in the shelter. These materials are designed to flex when put under strain, but not break. A structure made of conventional material would crumble under the stress from a disaster.
Hospitals- The shelters already offer basic medical treatment, but should you require more extensive care, each city has one or more designated hospitals where the medical staff, and later relief volunteers, can further help you.For example, the 1st recommended hospital in Honolulu is Queens Medical Center. Expect a wait of 15 minutes before arrival at a hospital from a shelter. The streets may be covered in rubble or be congested.
Evacuation- If an evacuation is declared, stay calm. You will be ask to make your way to a shelter farther inland, that corresponds with your current one. The same services will be available here with the exception of major medical treatment, which will still be outsourced to hospitals. Hospital patients will be flown to another hospital should their current one need to be evacuated. If you have a disability, there will be people to guide you to the evacuation site. Willing participants may also be sent to the airport to assist in bringing in supplies. Please be aware that this is not to be used to personally escape.
Food and Water- Supplies have been stocked already inside the shelter, such as food and water. In addition, after a day or so, relief agencies will begin flying in further supplies. The supply distribution will occur three times a day. Once for breakfast, served at 7:15 a.m. Another time at lunch, at 12:00 p.m. Finally the third will correlate with dinner, at 6:15 p.m.You may access these supplies at the nearest emergency shelter.
Power- We ask that all people be conservative with power. Disasters may have destroyed power lines or other infrastructure. At this point, most emergency services will have to be powered by generators, but are unable to supply power to other locations. These generators are absolutely not for public use and must remain undisturbed.
Sanitation- With many people forced into the shelters, we must remain conscious of disease. If you already have an illness, please inform authority so you may be moved to another area. To prevent any other cases, we ask everyone, especially those staying in the shelters, to maintain proper body hygiene. Shower at least once a day and wash your hands before and after meals. If your home does not currently have running water, the shelters offer the required amenities.
