Just make sure you get a place on high ground.. Hawaii is susceptible to Tsunamis generated from practically every other part of the Pacific.. And then there are those occasional (historically speaking) off shore landslides that wipe out entire coastal regions.. youtube.com Hawk

Hawaii - good place to visit, but there are risks there. Last year or so, there were four large hurricanes circling near the islands for a while, recently (I don't recall exactly when) a couple did approach the Big Island. The Big Island has two defensive mountains which tend to disrupt approaching storms - Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa but that will only protect the one island. Of course back about 25 years ago, storm Iniki hit Kauai ,the Garden Isle. 11 years back a large earthquake struck just off shore from the Northern end if the Big Island, It was a 6 or so magnitude. It woke us up and we went from a dead sleep to running for the outdoors. My wife stopped in the door way, I kept running to the nearby third green, I was not about to have the three story building come down on me. Besides I had new underwear on. She laughed at me when I wandered back. The cause of the quake was a rupture in the earths mantle beneath the weight of the built up gigantic Mauna Loa mountain. Over on Oahu, where Pearl Harbor lies, is the largest concentration of people. Something like 1 million on a fairly small island plus the normal daily influx of tourists. Think about resupply efforts there. On the Big Island with much less people and much more land, there is all sorts of options for food alternatives in case of a disaster including wild turkeys, wild sheep, wild goats, a number of large cattle ranches, good locally grown vegetables and of course lots of sea food from off shore.
