Leaders from Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) and Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill will host an open house Feb. 7, from 4-7 p.m. at Keʻehi Lagoon Memorial Park, Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Memorial Hall, Honolulu, Hawaii. JTF-RH is now in Defueling Phase 5.B where personnel are focused on removing residual fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and transitioning with the NCTF-RH. The event will give the public an opportunity to engage with leaders and learn more about plans to safely defuel and close the facility. This transition focused on NCTF-RH learning JTF-RH’s processes and procedures for safety, security, and engagement to ensure continuity of operations. During this phase, JTF-RH retains command and control over the RHBFSF Joint Operational Area (JOA) and will synchronize actions to rebuild trust with Federal, State and local stakeholders.
