URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND HAWAIʻI EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY TO ADOPT A CURRICULUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE YOUTH CIVIL DEFENSE CORPS.

SCR 52 is a non-binding Senate Concurrent Resolution urging Hawaii's Department of Education (DOE) and Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) to jointly develop a high school training program for a Youth Civil Defense Corps. The resolution proposes creating a curriculum to train high school students in emergency response skills, enabling them to participate in the State Emergency Response Team Program during disasters. It does not create new laws or funding but requests DOE and HI-EMA to collaborate on implementing this student-focused emergency preparedness initiative. The resolution directly affects high school students and state emergency management coordination.
