1/14/26 – PUBLIC INVITED TO TAKE 2026 RED HILL SURVEY
News Release from DLNR, Jan 14, 2026
HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is asking for the public’s help evaluating awareness of events surrounding the 2021 Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility spill and community understanding of ongoing issues and related concerns.
All Hawai‘i residents are invited to assist by taking a 10-minute survey. Those who used the Navy water system around the time of the 2021 fuel release, regardless of their current residence, are encouraged to take the survey.
The survey is available online at: RedHillSurvey.com
To ensure a cross-section of the population is represented, the survey will also be mailed to randomly selected O‘ahu residents starting January 20, 2026.
All responses will be anonymous and only a summary of total responses will be reported. No identifying information will be connected to participant responses.
The survey must be completed online or mailed using the postage-paid envelope by February 28, 2026.
DLNR has contracted Anthology Research, a Hawaiʻi-based market research, to conduct the survey. The results will be used to develop DLNR’s new public information and education program on remediation phases at Red Hill.
If you have any questions about this survey or are having difficulty accessing the online link, please contact Anthology Research, a Finn Partners Company, at 808-544-3024 or at surveys@anthologyresearch.com.
