Overview

Mission

To prepare, educate, and disseminate information on disasters of all types, including natural disasters to residents within and outside of the Manoa community so that they know what to do to keep themselves safe and provide volunteer service to their community in the event of a disaster. To have supplies and communications protocols ready to coordinate relief effort within the community while we wait for first responders and/or provide volunteer support for first responders and other government agencies post disaster.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Be Ready Manoa held several events to promote the importance of disaster preparedness - including the Annual Disaster Preparedness Fair, Community Emergency Response Team training, Manoa Coconut Wireless training (a program where we give free walkie talkies to residents to use when phone lines and electricity are not available), a hurricane season forecast workshop, and monthly walkie talkie communication practices. On a regular basis, Be Ready Manoa communicates important disaster related information and training opportunities through its website, via email distribution, and instant messaging when necessary.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
