Objectives are: <br />• Short- or long-term aims that, when combined, form a strategy or a course of action to meet a <br />goal. <br />• More specific than goals, but less specific than actions (projects). <br />Once objectives have been established, the MHMP Working Group will use them to define and <br />prioritize actions. We will strive to identify stand-alone objectives that meet multiple goals, supporting <br />the linear concept of purpose statement, goals, objectives and actions that all directly support each <br />other. <br />The sample objectives below are adapted from mitigation plans in other jurisdictions, other best <br />practice objectives and an identified objective from the December Working Group Meeting. You will <br />notice that many of these objectives overlap, use similar terms, and cover similar topics. <br />Please select objectives by associating one or more goals with the desired objective. If you don't <br />associate any goals with an objective, that indicates that you don't recommend that objective. You will <br />also have the opportunity to suggest different objectives at the end of the exercise. <br />HAWAII COUNTY HMP 2020 GOALS: <br />1. Utilize state-of-the-art methods and technologies as well as local knowledge to identify hazards, <br />risks, and capabilities. <br />2. Ensure that all critical facilities and infrastructure withstand hazard incidents and have <br />contingency plans to restore services quickly. <br />3. Protect natural and cultural resources to the extent practicable that mitigate hazards. <br />4. Promote actions that support land use planning and regulations designed to ensure long-term <br />resiliency. <br />5. Promote community risk reduction and preparedness through public education, training and <br />awareness. <br />6. Improve capabilities to implement response protocols and continuity of operations and services. <br />7. Strengthen partnerships and leverage existing resources and capabilities to identify, assess, and <br />reduce the impact of hazards. <br />NOTES AND REMINDERS: <br />You may want to print off the goals, so that you can refer to them while completing the exercise. It will <br />likely be easier to refer to a hard copy. <br />Please remember that this is simply a prioritization exercise. We will discuss the results of this <br />exercise at the next Working Group meeting. <br />1 <br />
