Mayor Mufi Han­ne­mann was in South Korea when the earth­quake hit the state on Sun­day morning.

He returned to the island and held a press con­fer­ence yes­ter­day, where he asserted that the city and county’s emer­gency plan worked well. Most of the traf­fic sig­nals have been repaired, although some sig­nal con­trols were dam­aged when HECO shut down elec­tri­cal power across the entire island.

Coun­cil­men Todd Apo Charles Djou did note that we were lucky that the earth­quake hit at 7 on a Sun­day morning.
