The Agenda link will also tell you what email address to use to email them about that meeting so you can get your voice heard for that meeting.

There will be a deadline but if you miss it you can still email them that day but try not to miss it.

Put the meeting title you are talking about in the Subject of your email and really try not to miss the deadline.

There will also be instructions in their email on how to get on their zoom meeting if that's how you would like to voice your words and where to go in person should you want to be there. In person is best and email is still voicing your words.

Please speak at every new development application because a lot more are coming!

See the petitions page to sign petition, "Help Prioritize Hawai'i Homes to Keep to a Safe Infrastructure ". Mahalo!

3) Check their calendar

Don't rely fully on their emails. Check their calendar links as well to see what meetings are coming up that you want to speak on.

Email them early and if you are going to the meeting mark your calendar or put an alarm on your phone because that always helps to remember when you need to voice your opinion for the island and you won't miss it.

Click the links below and scroll down till you see to their calendar. These are all 4 calendar links that are on the County Meetings page above .

Save these links to stay informed because they post meetings with very short notice sometimes.
