Dec 3

TL;DR - The Hawaiʻi congressional delegation is urging Gov. David Ige to request an emergency declaration from President Joe Biden due to the Navy's contaminated water system near Pearl Harbor.

U.S. Sens. Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz and U.S. Reps. Ed Case and Kai Kahele say the emergency declaration would give the state resources to help residents affected by petroleum in their water.
