As in the past, it will be the resilience of the Marshallese people and their ability to adapt to global market forces that will sustain the economy. As the year 2001 approaches, marking the end of the 15-year Compact of Free Association with the United States, political and social stability will enhance the Marshall Islands' efforts to attract foreign capital and technical expertise in developing its domestic private economy.Item Alu Like Health and Social Services Program Five Year Strategy and Implementation Plan: Executive Summary(MPAC, Inc., 1989-05-31) Prizzia, Ross; Nishigaya, LindaItem Kula Hospital Elderly Housing Feasibility Study(MPAC, Inc., 1988-07) Prizzia, Ross; Nishigaya, Linda; Oshiro, Ernie; Helfand, Gary; Ohigashi, Stephanie; Kanemaru, CarolItem Comparative Public Administration Study Guide(University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu, 2001) Prizzia, RossItem Principles of Public Administration Study Guide(University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu, 2001) Prizzia, RossItem Central Oahu Community Mental Health Center Plan(MPAC, Inc., 1977-10) Prizzia, Ross; Rosenthal, Stanley; Warfel, George; Villanueva-King, Odette; Nakamura, BrianItem A Hazardous Waste Management Plan for the State of Hawaii(Pacific Environmental Research Group, 1990-09) Olive, Steve; Prizzia, Ross; Nishigaya, Linda; Helfand, GaryItem Sustainable Development in an International Perspective(Taylor and Francis, 2007) Prizzia, RossItem The Role of Training in Disaster Management: The Case of Hawaii(Taylor and Francis, 2008) Prizzia, RossItem The Role of Coordination in Disaster Management(Taylor and Francis, 2008) Prizzia, RossItem The strategic role of Hawaii in disaster coordination in the Asia-Pacific(Weston Medical Publishing, LLC., 2012-05) Prizzia, RossThe purpose of this article is to describe and explain the strategic role of Hawaii in disaster coordination in the Asia-Pacific region. Hawaii is of critical importance in the prevention of, preparation for, and response to disasters in the Asia-Pacific region as is demonstrated through the effective coordination of Hawaii-based institutions such as the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, US Pacific Command (PACOM), US Army Pacific (USARPAC), Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS), East- West Center (EWC), Pacific Disaster Center (PDC), Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC), and other related disaster management support organizations based throughout the Hawaiian islands. The State of Hawaii seems prepared to respond to natural and human-caused disasters. As the only island state located in the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii continues to require advanced technology for warning systems and effective coordination of emergency management capability to respond to a wide range of natural disasters and the threat of terrorism and an extensive network of coordination, cooperation, and collaboration among relevant disaster and emergency Hawaii-based government agencies at the local, national, and international levels. While some of this network may be unique to Hawaii and the Asia-Pacific region, most is not and can provide useful “best practices” for other practitioners and jurisdictions.Item Emergency management and disaster response in Hawaii: the role of medical centers and the media(Weston Medical Publishing, LLC., 2004) Prizzia, RossThe research is an administrative case study based on an extensive review of Hawaii government documents and interviews with key personnel of the Hawaii Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC), civil defense, and other relevant government officials. Interviews with key personnel at the major medical centers were also conducted as well as a survey of 80 percent of the local Hawaii-based TV news reporters. The study describes the interagency coordination at the federal, state, county, and community level to improve capability. Recommendations from the study included increased funding for family emergency preparedness and local community response teams and continuous training by emergency response coordinators to improve state and county disaster preparedness. The study also recommends collaboration with disaster-trained media reporters. The study concluded that, overall, Hawaii is adequately prepared in emergency response capability, particularly in the areas of medical services and interagency coordination, but coordination with the media reporting on disasters could be improved.Item Agency Coordination and the Role of the Media in Disaster Management(Weston Medical Publishing, LLC., 2005) Prizzia, RossThis study utilises survey research to describe and explain the role of the primary agencies, emergency managers and media reporters in agency coordination in disaster preparedness and response in Hawaii. An administrative case study is also utilised, based on an extensive review of Hawaii government documents and interviews with key personnel of the Hawaii Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC), civil defense and other relevant government officials. Based on the perceptions of emergency managers and media reporters of the extent and role of interagency coordination at the Federal, State, and County, and community level, the study provides recommendations on how to improve capability in agency coordination and disaster management. The study further recommends increased funding for family emergency preparedness and local community response teams, and suggests that continuous training by emergency response coordinators could improve state and county disaster preparedness, and that coordination with the media reporting on disasters could be improved.
