INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAIʻI
Rescue Fees
Beautiful hiking trails are among the many attractions Hawaiʻi has to offer. Every year, dozens of people are rescued from these trails for varying reasons. In many cases, those being rescued should never have been on the trail in the first place because the trail was closed to the public or otherwise off limits. A bill making its way through the Legislature would require government entities to seek reimbursement for some or all of the cost of the rescue.
