This meeting vras called as a follow-up on the meeting of July 8, 1971,
vhich was held for purposes of starting a survey on the inventory of food
supplies on the Island of Hawaii and for an estinate on how long these
supplies would last. As a result of that meeting, the Biergency Food
Inventory Form prepared by the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency were
Bent to each of 14 merchants en this island who cooperated in the survey.
After this original survey was cmipleted, the State Department of
Agriculture had Messrs. Hisanaga and Okanoto cake a similar survey. It
Is not known why this had happened because HCDA keeps in contact with State
CD and had notified then about our meeting. Kauai also had a similar meeting.
The State meeting was held a little over a week ago on the basis of the
information that was received from each of the counties and at that tiae
it was felt that the estimates were fairly conservative, like ours.
Mr. Isherwood received a phone call from Mr. Robert Sorg, Resources &
Production Officer from State CD, requesting that HCDA send the infonsation
from our survey to the DOA since it sunrarizes the information for the
whole state. The DOA listed almost the same items on their inventory form
as we had; hoirever, we thought it would be easier to list the number of
cases and the estimated time that the items would last under normal conditions
while the State requested the information in thousands of pounds. The local
DOA sent their information to Honolulu.
