Hawai?i's position as the most remote population center in the world leaves the islands uniquely vulnerable to a disaster. This week, The Conversation explores the vulnerability of Hawai?i's people and infrastructure. The first installment of the five-part series takes a look at the electrical grid - where 60% of power plants lie in an inundation zone.

Catherine Cruz is the host of The Conversation. Contact her at ccruz@hawaiipublicradio.org.
