Join us for an unexploded ordinance (UXO) safety presentation, info booth by LAUKOA. 

LAUKOA (formerly DAWSON) is proud to support USACE Honolulu District through the FY25 Institutional Controls Education & Outreach Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) across O’ahu.

Areas such as Waikāne, parts of Windward O’ahu, and other former WWII-era training locations may still contain Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).

The 3Rs of UKO safety – RECOGNIZE, RETREAT, and REPORT. If you see something, say something.

Additionally, there will be a film screening of This Little Land of Mines (2019). 

“During the Vietnam War, the US bombed Laos more than any other country had been bombed before. Today, the Laos people live among over 80 million unexploded bombs on their doorsteps.”
