[lt]TETRA TECH <br /> County of Hawaii-Statement of Qualifications for Fiscal Year 2025 J <br /> Client(s) Project Name Description Period of <br /> Performance <br /> Tetra Tech assisted the County of Hawaii with a multiphase project to support recovery activities in the wake <br /> of the 2018 Kilauea Eruption. The outcome of this planning engagement was an Action Framework for <br /> Recovery and Resilience (Action Framework)that provided the County with a blueprint for a variety of <br /> Hawaii County Kilauea Eruption strategies and projects to facilitate meaningful recovery to the County residents and businesses that were <br /> Community Relief, displaced or impacted.The Action Framework considered and incorporated outcomes from planning studies <br /> Department of 2019 to 2020 <br /> Relocation,and for use to inform future decisions on prioritizing expected federal and state grants available for long-term <br /> Planning Recovery Planning recovery as well as County general funds being used to support recovery efforts.This includes more than <br /> $400M in state and federal recovery funding including the Stafford Act,the Hazard mitigation Grant Program, <br /> and the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Programs.In addition,Tetra Tech provided Strategic <br /> Communications support to the County. <br /> Volcanic Risk Tetra Tech performed a volcanic risk assessment and identified mitigation strategies for the County of <br /> Hawaii County Hawaii. This included all hazards associated with four volcanoes, including lava, ash and gas emissions <br /> Department of Assessment and (Vog).Outcomes from the risk assessment were designed to inform and update of the County's Multi-Hazard 2019 to 2020 <br /> Planning Mitigation Action Mitigation Plan with the resulting mitigation strategies also being incorporated into concurrent recovery <br /> Plan planning efforts subsequent to the 2018 Kilauea Eruption event. <br /> Tetra Tech conducted the HMP update using a planning process that met both Disaster Mitigation Act(DMA) <br /> of 2000 requirements and CRS Activity 510 Comprehensive Floodplain Management Plan requirements. <br /> Tetra Tech performed the following tasks as part of the 2020 update:(1)completed an extensive repackaging <br /> of the County plan to increase readability, usability and integration opportunities with County plans and <br /> programs that could support/enhance hazard mitigation actions identified by the plan; (2) organized a <br /> stakeholder working group that oversaw the plan development processes and facilitated nine steering <br /> Hawaii County committee meetings;(3)Updated goals,objectives and mitigation initiatives to more readily align with existing <br /> Department of Update Multi-Hazard County and State goals,programs and priorities;(4) Conducted an enhanced risk assessment using 2019 to 2020 <br /> Planning Mitigation Plan HAZUS-MH and GIS analysis as applicable for 12 hazards of concern, including an update of the general <br /> building stock as well as the development of a critical facilities database; (5)Developed and employed a <br /> public participation strategy that included a public survey,several public meetings,and a public comment <br /> period;and,(6)Updated hazard profiles with best available data,the results of the risk assessment and a <br /> description of hazard events that have impacted the County since the development of the previous plan.The <br /> plan identified and prioritized over 35 actions based upon the County's core capabilities and capacity to <br /> implement the actions. <br /> Analysis to Establish Tetra Tech, in response to a Scope of Work provided by the County of Hawaii, is developing coastal and <br /> Hawaii County Research-based riparian management tools.The focus of this project is to provide the technical foundation based on the best <br /> Department of Shoreline and available information for revisions in regulatory and non-regulatory tools,in particular,shoreline setbacks and 2021 to present <br /> Planning Riparian Setbacks riparian buffers,to more effectively reduce risk to coastal hazards.This will be followed by adapting the Plan <br /> for Hawaii Integration for Resilience Scorecard(PIRS)as a decision-support tool for this project and for future efforts <br /> that the County may undertake. <br /> PAGE 24 <br />
