No Emergency Evacuation plans, and Unknown Hazards for the Community from the Navy Red Hill Tanks and Tunnels to Pearl Harbor
We wanted to share with you how in 2014 we interviewed Gary Gill from the DOH, Department of Health about the continued problems with the Navy Red Hill Underground Fuel Tank and Tunnel Complex.
With the complex stretching across the Pearl Harbor, Halawa, Foster Village and Red Hill community growing concerns of evacuation plans, the Lack of Fire Protection and Standards at Navy Red Hill Fuel Facility . The Fuel tanks have continued to have leaks over the past 7 decades. The growing problems of contamination with our ground water from the 20 Navy Fuel Tanks at the Red Hill Fuel Facility should be a top priority in his discussions. One DOD document we reviewed reported: personnel, infrastructure, mission support capability, and DoD property will continue to be at an unnecessarily elevated risk. The high potential for fire incident and long egress distances coupled with inadequate fire protection, alarm, containment, communications, emergency power, and ventilation systems will continue to create a hazardous environment for all personnel in the Red Hill tunnel complex. Many relic the Red Hill complex, but we don’t need an enduring monument we need Safety, Modernization and Protection.
As well as a priority by the DOD, President Obama, Washington D.C., our Congress and the State of Hawaii as the stewards to secure and safeguard Life, the Water, the Land, and the people on Oahu.
