ISPI institutional launch announcement. The world's first and only nonprofit think tank dedicated exclusively to public safety and security policy for island and coastal communities. Based in Honolulu. Already engaged with Hawaii state government agencies.

Island communities — Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, and Pacific Island jurisdictions — are currently served by frameworks designed for continental environments. Federal agencies cannot address this gap without independent research institutions dedicated to island-specific policy.

State and local governments managing island communities — Hawaii, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa — operate under public safety frameworks that were not designed for island conditions. This press release documents the five specific research gaps that leave island government decision-makers without the independent evidence base they need.
