Josh Green

Josh Green is the current governor of Hawaii. He is newsworthy due to his recent actions in response to severe weather events and the passing of a prominent political figure. Recently, Governor Green issued an emergency proclamation in anticipation of a powerful kona storm expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and potential flooding to multiple islands. This declaration aims to mobilize additional resources to affected areas. Prior to this, he oversaw evacuation orders for over 4,000 people due to flooding along Oahu’s North Shore, raising concerns about a potentially failing dam. Furthermore, Governor Green ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the late Colleen Hanabusa, former US representative and the first woman to serve as president of the Hawaii state senate, highlighting her significance in Hawaiian politics.
