21.2 MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Hazard mitigation plans must delineate goals aimed at reducing long-term vulnerabilities to identified hazards, in accordance with 44 CFR Section 201.6(c)(3)(i). 21.2.1 Goals and Objectives from the 2020 HMP As part of the plan update process, the Mitigation Working Group conducted a,�Wew of the goals and objectives established in the 2020 plan. The 2020 version of the HMP identified the following mitigation goals: Goal 1: Utilize state-of-the-art methods and technologies as well as"Iocai knowledge to identify hazards, risks, and capabilities. Y � Goal 2: Ensure that all critical facilities and infrastructure withstand hazard incidents and have contingency plans to restore services quickly. f, • Goal 3: Protect natural and cultural resources to ihe`extent practicable while mitigating'hazards. FtF... s Goal 4: Promote actions that support land use planning . ;and regulations designed to ensure long-term resiliency. • Goal 5: Promote community risk reduc#lonland preparedness through public education, training and awareness. ® Goal 6: Improve capabilities to implement resp nse protocols and` ntinuity of operations and services. r + Goal 7: Strengthen partnerships and leverage. existing"resouraes and capabilities to identify, assess, and reduce the impact of hazards. The 2020 objectives were developed to meet multiple goals were as follows: 6 Objective 1: Improve warning and `emergency communications systems. e Objective 2: Conduct studies to determine locations, potential impacts, and links among threats, hazards, and vulnerabilities to support the identfication'and implementation of mitigation and protection measures in Haw4i; County. Objective 3: Utilize the best available data, science and technology to identify and communicate the risk 'exposure to hazards and ways to increase the planning area's capability to prepare for, respond to, y recover from, and mitigate the impacts of hazard events. + Objective 4: Promote a "I pie ment the retrofit, hardening, or replacement of at -risk structures and lifelines to increase community resilience. $ Objective'5 Support haze?mitigation measures that promote and enhance natural processes and minimize adve{rse impacts on the ecosystem. V •K� 6 .r..: - * Objective 6: Research; develop, promote, adopt and enforce codes and standards that are affordable and feasible for life ar tiI roperty protection. 4 Objective 7: Establish and maintain partnerships among all levels of government, the private sector, community groups, and institutions of higher learning that improve and implement methods to protect life, property and the environment in the planning area. • Objective 8: Minimize impacts of hazard events on the economic drivers for the County. • Objective 9: Incentivize and implement mitigation measures for hazard risk and repetitive loss areas to address repairs, major alternations, development plans and practices. ® TETRA TECH 21-19 2025 Hawaii County Hazard Mitigation Plan
