These should not all be in one question as they are all different answers. Fire coverage seems improved with new fire station. Post Office OK. Civil Defense, don't know, except that after 11+ years there is still no plan for PGV emergencies. Police have nice new station but are still incompetent and 'ainokea' or worse in my personal experience. Fair for Post Office not because of service there (friendly, efficient) but because of traffic issues. No easy solution there, but if there could eventually be local shuttle buses, like Indonesian Bimu/ Philippine Jeepney for Pahoa town, congestion there and elsewhere in Pahoa could be somewhat relieved. Civil Defense: people in Pahoa need to have evacuation plans for lava, earthquake, GT blowout; low awareness of what to do in Pahoa, especially for elderly w/o transportation. Police are stretched very thin - numbers to area; Fire seems good; P.O.- could sure use some auto space, mostly access corridors, in and out. Not even safe. Civil Defense seems good. Post Office needs space for additional boxes, parking, staffing Police need to regularly patrol the town Removing the remote early voting site at Malama was a real blow to participation The new Police and Fire departments are GREAT new additions, but a new larger Post Office, also in the same vicinity as the above services, would be a safer place for all the traffic, that pours onto the small side street, that hosts the Post Office. I like the new fire and police stations and the post office has gotten a lot friendlier I have to say excellent with the new police, fire facilities, yet, the post office is still inconvenient. We've got police and fire stations; now we need a larger Post Office and a hurricane /safe building for evacuations. For Pahoa to grow properly, there needs to be more government services and better planning. Pahoa is rapidly becoming the hub for most of Puna. The facilities are very good, and new! The police are often difficult to deal with. LOVE the new trash transfer station. theres a presence.. wonderful intention horrible follow thru Government Services Page 13
