HERricane Camp
Our HERricane Camp is over! Please return to see more photos and information about the past event when it becomes available.
HERricane was a one-week FREE day camp (9:00 AM - 4:00 PM) showcasing the Emergency Management field opportunities to young women ages 16 - 22.
We at the Pacific Center in Human Security and the Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management (I-DIEM) brought this to you locally and the summer 2024 HERricane Camp sponsored by Farmers Insurance. We are the first U.S. territory to deliver this opportunity to our young Pasefika women.
Learn more about our new partner, I-DIEM, on their website here and follow them on Facebook.
We were on 93 KHJ's Morning Show with John Raynar. Listen to us talk about the HERricane Camp and our new AS degree, inclusive-Emergency Management, here. Our second interview about the HERricane Camp with more details here.
