Hawaii Islandʻs Fentanyl Crisis Response
Community Driven Addiction and Overdose Prevention
Hosted by Tanya Yamanaka, Ola Ka Moku is a podcast for and about the people and places of Hawaii Island. Today, guest Kimo Alameda shares our communityʻs response to the fentanyl epidemic that was responsible for at least 17 overdose deaths in 2022. Kokua is the word.
Mahalo for listening to Ola Ka Moku. For more information about the Hawaii Island Fentanyl Task Force, visit HIFTF.org. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opiod that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine and is the #1 cause of death for Americans age 18-45. If you need help now with addiction, call the CARES line of Hawaii at 1-800-753-6879. The Hawaii Island Fentanyl Task Force is a community coalition made up of 75 organizational representatives and members. Theyʻre working with our friends, neighbors and fellow islanders to raise awareness, inform and empower us to prevent addiction, drug overdose and other consequences of drug use on Hawaii Island. Thank you for supporting their work.
