The city's new emergency response team in Waipi'o Gentry will be discussed by city EMS officials at tomorrow night's Waipahu Neighborhood Board monthly meeting.

The new unit is expected to improve response times to areas such as lower Mililani, Waipi'o and Waikele.

The 7 p.m. meeting will be held in Ballroom B of the Filipino Community Center at 94-428 Mokuola St.

The new unit is based — at least for now — at Kaiser Permanente Hawaii's Waipi'o clinic, which is allowing the city to use the space rent-free.

The unit operates 16 hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., but officials will evaluate the unit to determine whether there's a need to extend the service to 24 hours, EMS said.
