Civil Defense to Hold Public Meetings to Present the Risk Assessment for Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2020.

Please take the time to fill out the Survey and share it to your other networks.

The County of Hawai‘i’s Civil Defense Agency is holding a series of public meetings islandwide in January 2020 to introduce the results of the Risk Assessment conducted for the County’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update to the community. These meetings will provide an opportunity to the public to share their views on risk and suggestions to help fine-tune this important plan.
 
The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is the County’s hazard and risk assessment for natural disasters.  The plan will include proposed projects to mitigate potential loss of life and property.
 
The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is required to be eligible for FEMA funds.  That plan must be updated every five years. The Plan is closely related to and should influence the County’s General Plan and the Emergency Operations Plan. To keep up to date with the project, visit https://hifoodalliance.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=572b1fd27cb54485cf0275ed7&id=9dfcf16be8&e=aab9a58feb
 
Public participation and feedback are a vital part of the hazard mitigation planning process. In addition to asking residents to attend key meetings, Hawai‘iCounty has also developed a Hazard Mitigation Plan Surveyto assist in providing the public an outlet to contribute to the 2020 HMP update. 
 
This survey is anonymous and will be used to develop portions of the plan. Fill out the survey at:
