Hawaii's flooding crisis demanded an all-hands response, and that's exactly what happened — the Coast Guard, Navy, National Guard and FEMA mobilized fast, rescuing over 200 people with zero deaths reported. First responders airlifted 72 kids from a stranded youth camp and plucked survivors off rooftops, proving emergency coordination worked when it mattered most. Federal support was secured quickly, and the state is already moving to address the Wahiawa dam's long-overdue acquisition.
