AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoPublic Health Alert: Hawaiʻi DOH is warning residents about the fast-growing opioid-like “7-OH” (7-hydroxymitragynine), often sold as “enhanced kratom” in gummies, tablets, drink shots, and flavored products—DOH says it can be far more potent than morphine and raises overdose and addiction risks, especially for youth and young adults. Mental Health Response: Maui Police’s Crisis Intervention Team just added 21 new members after completing a 40-hour certification meant to de-escalate crises and prevent violence or self-harm. Security & Training: LANPAC opened in Waikīkī with a focus on deterrence through industrial endurance, regional sustainment, and better training—plus a spotlight on people as the “teeth” of readiness. Tourism Push: Hawaiʻi’s DBEDT is targeting a Japan tourism gap beyond Waikīkī, while Maui seeks more big-spending visitors. Local Politics: Kauaʻi Mayor Derek Kawakami filed to run for lieutenant governor, setting up an early statewide race.
