The theme of the fourth Revitalize Puna is “Seeing is Believing.”

In addition, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources will be on hand to provide a status update on the restoration of the Pohoiki Boat Ramp.
The meeting also will feature a “Resource Row” with information from local nonprofits and community-led resilience projects residents can get involved in, including Paint Pahoa Town and emergency preparedness. In addition, a keiki craft station, plant giveaways, and local food trucks will be available.
