starts up todayThe page starts today and runs during the hurricane season. It will be included in the nearly 5,000 files already posted on line by FEMA. There are enough alerts dealing with storms, floods, fires and other natural disasters that after a quick browse you won't ever want to leave your house again.

Last week this column had its own flood, after mentioning several national search engines for job placement. Mainland Net surfers wanted a local site posting jobs in Hawaii. There are several, with one of the most complete being http://Hawaiian-Index.com/employment.html. It is run by Three Shields Hawaii, a site that specializes in indexing local Web pages.
"Home on the Web" is a weekly Friday feature of the Star-Bulletin.
