The meeting was called due to the present shipping strike. This meeting
has been cleared with the >!ayor and will not be publicized at all.
Cbe of the plans under Civil Defense is to provide for the recovery
of a connunity after a nuclear attack and to provide for such a possibility,
plans for the organization of the Dnergency Resource Kanagecent Committee
were started several years ago. This cocmittee, originally organized by
the Rotary Club, is comprised of Messrs. Kaneshiro, Ckuyaca, Kata, I-^anuel
Lucas (Savemore) and Frank Kagao (now retired). The last tine the comnittee
was activated was during the potential shipping strike in 1965*
In the event of a nuclear attack, we would be contacting all business
firms in the County; however, since this survey will be a bread estimate
only, we eliminated the smaller stores and contacted only the larger ones.
Wiat we are interested in now is an esticate on how long the food staples
and basic sanitation supplies in the County will last.
Since we cannot determine hew long the strike will last, Mr. Isherwocd
prepared a draft of an Ei:ergency Food Inventory Form for purposes of getting
a general preview of the present situation on the island. He went over the
form which he circulated and asked the group for comments en it.
Mr. Kaneshiro suggested contacting Hilo Meat for an inventory on fresh
meats. Mr. Isherwocd stated that they have been contacted. Mr. Kaneshiro
added that his firm carries a supply of two or three days of fresh meat
at the most.
