'This is just the first step' | Native Hawaiians react to decision to shutdown Red Hill

TL;DR - The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility will be permanently shut down. That was the announcement made by the U.S. Department of Defense on Monday, March 7.

The Navy's underground storage tanks have been at the center of an ongoing crisis on O'ahu after fuel contaminated the drinking water for thousands of residents.

Reactions were coming in from all over the state after the announcement, including from a community that has been calling for this decision for years, the native Hawaiian community.
