🦾🥰🤙🏽 An emotional celebration was held today to kick-off National Emergency Medical Services week! On January 11th, Norm Skorge, a Lieutenant for the Honolulu Ocean Safety Communications Center suffered a cardiac arrest in the swimming pool at The O’ahu Club. His friends pulled him out and began cardio pulmonary resuscitation. Honolulu Emergency Medical Services responded from Hawai’i Kai with Paramedic Mitch Kam and Emergency Medical Technician Tina Craveiro and within a few minutes they had him attached to an EKG and shocked once. Norm came back to life! The @honolulufiredepartment also was on scene to assist EMS with continuing treatment. Mitch was credited today along with Norm’s friends and fellow club members for saving Norm’s life. Mitch was also recognized as the EMS Week hero of the year. A crowd of family, friends, and fellow first responders gathered to say Mahalo during EMS Week! #nationalemsweek #paramedic #team #bystandercpr #savinglives @honoluluoceansafety #Repost @honoluluems

As Hōkūleʻa traverses the convergence zone (ITCZ), legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle and Pwo Navigator Nainoa Thompson reflect on the convergence of the wisdom of our elders, the wisdom of nature, and our hopes for the next generation, and the necessity of training leaders to face uncertainty due to the disruptions in the living systems – land and sea – that underpin the planet's chemistry.

Mahalo to our west side rescue operators for spending the time to show the need for more lifeguard coverage. Lives will be saved if lifeguards are on duty longer hours. #honoluluoceansafety #Repost @honoluluoceansafety @hawaiinewsnow

yaa #BK @briankeaulana 😉🤙🏽💦🌋 #Repost @b.w.r.a.g Uncle Brian has been an innovator and inventor for much of the safety equipment we use in the ocean today. What started out as a need to create a functional platform for the film industry evolved into one of the most fun water vessels to ride waves with - the SUPsquatch! If you’ve spent any time in Makaha or participated in the @bbbscmakaha, you definitely have seen these beasts in action! 🌊🏄🏽‍♂️🤙🏽 Mahalo to @anewearthproject for sharing this awesome vignette that shows the historical origin of Uncle Brian’s SUPsquatch! @briankeaulana @peahi20ft @toddpohaku #bwrag #bigwaveriskassessmentgroup #briankeaulana #hawaiianwaterman #makaha #supsquatch #connectedbywater

The ocean will sweep up the beach and pull you in to the ocean. Our waves are powerful and unpredictable. Luckily the boys were there to help rescue this couple. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 #Repost @northshorelifeguardassociation

Same rescue from the previous post. The victim disappeared underwater and the boys thought she wasn’t coming up. Then luckily she surfaced and the lifeguard jumped to grab her! 😮 Video: @peterkingphoto #Repost @northshorelifeguardassociation

#Repost @b.w.r.a.g ・・・ When the worst-case scenario happens to one of your close friends, you hope and wish that anyone who you have trained is in the surrounding area to help. Two years ago, the same person who spearheaded the founding of BWRAG and consequently, a global movement around surf ocean safety training - nearly lost his life from the sport in which he sought to create more safety. The irony. It goes to show that the ocean, however much love we have for her, shows mercy to no one. She is masterless. Knowing this made our North Shore Global Summit at Turtle Bay this past December that much more important. For two years, we could not hold in-person training due to the impact of the global pandemic. However, in November and December, our summits roared back to life. We had a great number of new attendees at this summit, which shows that the surf safety movement is still catching fire. Importantly, too, we saw venerated alumni and lifeguards come out because they know that you can never be too prepared to dance with the ocean and that preparation is a lifestyle, not like a one-and-done task. Mahalo nui for the incredible support of @patagonia_surf, @yeti @konabrewpub @clifbar @banzaisushibar @jorgestacosandceviche for helping us bring our training back home. Mahalo to the beautiful renovated @turtlebayresort being base camp for our North Shore Summit for the last decade. Mahalo to all of our instructors and staff who commit their lives to sharing the priceless gift of knowledge. @briankeaulana @deepwatersurf @americanguard @danilocouto11 @healeywaterops @eli_olson @_danielrusso_ @pamfoster @quesopeligroso @hargrave @kolomona1_ @chaddahcheese @valiantvelcro @otford_magpie @thesurfprofessor @zachdiionno @kiradiionno @candelahawaii @horie.taku @_mofreitas @mavveeriickk Mahalo to the @northshorelifeguardassociation @hawaiianwaterpatrol @hawaiianlifeguardassociation and all the ocean rescue and water safety personnel who risk their lives to save other

mahalo fo sharing @malikadudley Guess what?! The road to the summit of #maunakea is OPEN. Here is some information for you from the Maunakea Rangers: - fog is not likely - at 9:45am, temp is 30 ° F - 25 ° F when you factor in the wind chill - no 2-wheel drive vehicles allowed past the end of the paved road above the Halepohaku area Let me know if you’re going up! Would love to coordinate to get some footage and an interview for the evening newscast ;) #maunakeasnow #maunakeaaccess #snowinhawaii #hawaiisnow #winterinhawaii #kitv #hawaiinews #hawaiiweather #hawaiiblizzard

#LATEST: The Hawaii Department of Health confirmed Wednesday night that a second Navy water well has been contaminated by fuel. The state said water samples taken from the Navy’s Aiea Halawa shaft on Sunday detected more than twice the safe limit of diesel fuel in the drinking water. This latest development shows that contamination of the Navy’s water system is more widespread than previously thought. Navy officials had confirmed petroleum contamination in the Red Hill drinking water well last week. “Navy officials have testified under oath that the tanks couldn’t leak and if they did leak it could no way reach drinking water and it has happened,” said David Kimo Frankel, attorney for the Sierra Club of Hawaii. “Our water was the purest and best water in the world and the Navy has ruined that.” Read more at the link in bio. #HNN #Repost @hawaiinewsnow
