Hawaii Firearms Control Coalition. Maria Ching, Deborah Goebert, Nancy Marker, Bill Montgomery, Nadine Onodera, Pauline Osborne, Pegi Scully, Brandon Stone. The Injury Prevention and Control Program, like most DOH programs, is currently having to justify its existence due to budget cuts and the fact that prevention is not considered a core function of the Department of Health. However, both childhood injury and the sexual assault prevention project were recommended for funding. There are still questions regarding how to handle certain situations within this project.
Suggestions are welcome.
The next phase will be to test it out at the police department. A handout was distributed regarding firearms information. A short, clear document is being created at this time. It was suggested that this document be in a tri-fold brochure style and be mailed out with a catchy message on each envelope. This document will be completed and distributed closer to the next legislative session.
