to the people as temporary shelter. And so to date, we have delivered 162 campers to 162 families. We'd have 10 more on the books. It'll be going out towards the end. It should be going out tomorrow or the first of next week. And then we have probably another 20 behind that. So that's kind of what we've been up to after the flood is providing temporary shelter for people that have lost everything.

Yeah, so our main goal was to get them in a bed somewhere warm where they could take a shower, use a bathroom, cook, and kind of get as back to normal as they possibly could in these circumstances. Each camper we've learned goes through about a bottle of propane every four to six days.

So we have committed and we have set aside funds to where we are going to make sure that the people that are in the campers that we've distributed have the opportunity to stay warm. We made a deal locally with Blossomans, a propane distributor in the area, to where they can go to Blossomans, get propane for their camper at no cost to them. So that was kind of twofold. It keeps them warm.

We're also putting funding back into the area. So that's kind of been our strategy. Anytime we can buy a local or put money back into the area, we've done so.

It is complete devastation still. I think they just yesterday got the building codes lifted to where people can start to possibly live in tiny houses or sheds. A lot of those were not passing code. So that's why we felt like the campers were the best option for temporary shelter. But now that the camper mission is kind of winding down, we're now pivoting again, seeing what's next.

And our next evolution, I guess you'd say, is to now start supplying building materials to where we can be a part of the long-term permanent build-back effort.

We do. It's Operation Hilo Incorporated. We are a 501c3. Operationhilo.org is where people can go. But yep, we are officially a 501c3.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you, guys.

We made terrible mistakes in the past. by preventing to keep our city safe from those who have committed repeated acts of violence, particularly these dangerous gangs that we have witnessed in our city, and we're not going to continue in that direction. I'm going to answer a few questions, and then I am leaving, because it's not going to matter what I respond to anyway.

You have your preconceived thoughts already.
