Search and Rescue

In addition, we are on call for Tsunami warnings to reach our goal of having an airplane in the air within 2 hours of an alert to warn people off of the coastal areas of Maui.
Communications
We are in need volunteers to help operate and maintain our vital communications links including VHF local radio communications, and HF Long-Distance communications in case of catastrophe.

We have special programs for educators including free STEM kits and TOP orientation flights for teachers to bring back the joy of aviation to their schools. Civil Air Patrol receives funding from Congress and the Air Force to develop Aerospace Education and STEM programs for students K-12.
