A Web-based Repository to Hawai'i's State, Local, Federal, and Non-Profit Resources

This compilation is a link for Hawai'i residents to resources that are offered by officials: State of Hawai'i, the counties within the State, national and federal, and non-profit organizations to serve the public. Practicum Goals and Objectives I proposed to create a web-based repository of resources about Hawai‘i utilizing mainly (but not exclusively) official services and resources to serve the public. There is a lack of information on combined services and resources within the state and local agencies. I wanted to develop better access to the comprehensive resources in all levels within the local, state, federal and non-profit organizations. In the last few years, the state and local governments have put information on-line, but there is an overload of resources in a hodge-podge fashion. The attitude is to keep on adding information, but who manages it? We have all these resources on-line, but how do we find it? My parents live on the Big Island, and I live and work on O‘ahu. I called the state agencies on the elderly to find what kind of services were available for them, who then referred me to the county agencies. I would like a comprehensive website that offers state, local, federal, and non-profit services to the different agencies. I have web access experience, yet found that the information was buried within layer after layer within the organizations. This project is based on a model of the PowerReporting webpage (http:www.powerreporting.com/). Created by correspondent Bill Dedman of the Boston Globe as a research tool for journalists, PowerReporting lists resources from Beat by Beat to What’s New. I localized my webpages and did not focus for journalists, but to the general public. Topics (following PowerReporting) range from agriculture, arts, business and economics, Census data, courts, education, environment, family (infant, children, teenagers, adults, elderly), health, history, law, medicine, military, natural disasters and terrorism, politics and policy, real estate and recreation. Each topic includes a one-sentence description and links to their homepages. Disclaimer: These links may become out-of-date before an opportunity to update. This site has not been ADA-approved.
