The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has expressed gratitude to Governor Green for issuing an Emergency Proclamation aimed at addressing the sudden loss of critical phone and internet services provided by Sandwich Isles Communications (SIC). The proclamation will enable DHHL and other agencies to expedite assistance to affected households and businesses on Hawaiian Home Lands.
"This action will allow DHHL to more swiftly procure technology, extend telecommunications infrastructure, and work with alternate service providers to reestablish phone and internet service for the customers SIC has disconnected," the department stated.
DHHL continues to encourage SIC customers to promptly sign up for service with a new provider. Since May 24, the department has been posting updates and information about switching providers on its website: dhhl.hawaii.gov/broadband/.
