This photograph shows two Hawai‘i Army National Guard retirees – Theodore “Ted” Daligdig and Benedict “Ben” Fuata. Ted served as the manager of the then-Kaua‘i Civil Defense Agency. Ben served as the chief of the Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency.
Both were presenting their organizations at the Hawai‘i Emergency Preparedness Executive Committee (HEPEC) meeting that was held on October 19, 2012. The then-Hawai‘i State Civil Defense coordinated these quarterly HEPEC meetings. The goal of these meetings was to have as many government and civilian organizations who would be involved with a emergency response together to share information.
