Additionally, much work will be accomplished in-house <br /> by County Public Works such as design and engineering. <br /> The County is doing all that it can to address access concerns and needs while <br /> carrying out the federal guidance and mandates from the FEMA, FHWA and State <br /> regulatory agencies to ensure the County meets all necessary permitting and <br /> reimbursement requirements. <br /> I understand and empathize with families, businesses and the broader <br /> community which may simply want to get back home and to work; however, all need to <br /> bear in mind that Recovery is a long process. To stay abreast of emerging information, <br /> including road restoration activities and timelines, and other recovery plans, community <br /> members are encouraged to routinely visit the Kilauea Recovery webpage at <br /> http://www.hawaiicountv.gov/kilauea-eruption-recovery and sign up for periodic email <br /> updates at kilauearecovery@hawaiicountv.gov. <br /> County of Hawai i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
