Flooding and Natural Hazard, into <br /> Chapter 27, the County's Floodplain Management law <br /> • requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County <br /> agencies and the general public. <br /> • requiring 30-year old flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood channels, but <br /> numerous mauka/makai "historic ditches" that only flow intermittently during high rainfall events. <br /> Finally, I oppose Communication 176.40 from Public Works Director Bruce McClure requesting postponement of the <br /> above amendments being proposed by Council members Brenda Ford and Pete Hoffmann. <br /> Malama Pono, <br /> <br /> Dvaid S.
