Section 6 provides descriptions of selected projects within the following categories to better illustrate our services,
experience, and expertise in the field of Community Planning.
A. MASTER PLANNING
Whether community, port, or facility based, Tetra Tech has the experience and technical expertise to accomplish
Master Planning projects for all applications. As a major contractor for the United States Agency for International
Development(USAID),Tetra Tech has participated in nation building activities across the globe,in addition to providing
related services for communities within the United States. This includes related activities and Master Planning drivers
such as hazard mitigation, flood plain management, zoning and long-term economic and utility planning. Under a
contract with the State of New York, Tetra Tech assisted multiple communities with Master Planning activities related
to reconstruction and rebuilding in the aftermath of SuperStorm Sandy.
B. STRATEGIC PLANNING
Either as a formalized process or in the context of providing other services, Tetra Tech is frequently called upon to
provide or assist jurisdictions, ports, and utilities with strategic planning.Tetra Tech has the capability of performing all
stages of strategic planning, starting with threat and hazard assessments and continuing with a capability assessment
to determine if appropriate resources and capabilities exist to address defined threats or hazards. Deficiencies are
usually outlined in a Gap Analysis, and used to identify need-based strategic planning objectives. Ultimately the
Strategic Plan outlines and prioritizes the allocation of future investments of time, staffing and funding. While strongly
rooted in evidentiary analysis,Tetra Tech understands that strategic planning must also balance stakeholder input and
often competing priorities. Tetra Tech utilizes a collaborative process that promotes stakeholder input in order to build
consensus. This method has proven effective completing complex projects such as the Strategic Plan for the Los
Angeles/Long Beach Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and development of the comprehensive strategic plan for
the Hawaii region under the Regional Catastrophic Planning Grant Program in 2014.
C. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND PLANNING
Tetra Tech enjoys a reputation as a leader in homeland security and emergency preparedness. We have successfully
completed hundreds of emergency preparedness and response planning projects for local, state, and federal clients,
including extensive support within Hawaii. This includes Hawaii specific hazards, such as tsunamis and catastrophic
hurricanes, as well as their related elements such as evacuations, shelter operations, utility resumption, debris
management, health and human services,and command and control.Our team is also recognized as a leader in multi-
jurisdictional homeland security planning and members of our team have contributed to the development of the
Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP)Standard, the Core Capabilities List, and other foundational
documents. Tetra Tech has completed emergency planning projects for all four Hawaiian counties and the State
including revisions and rewrites to Emergency Operations Plans(EOP),Hazard Mitigation Plans(HMP),HazMat Plans,
and other response annexes.
D. TRAINING AND EXERCISES
In addition to emergency preparedness planning, Tetra Tech is also a leader in providing associated training and
exercises for validation purposes. Tetra Tech has extensive expertise in developing seminars, workshops, drills and
exercises for a wide variety of topics and is established as a preeminent firm in the use and application of the Homeland
Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP),which is often required when utilizing federal grant funding.Tetra
Tech's exercise staff includes numerous HSEEP instructors and many have been designated as Master Exercise
Practitioners (MEP) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Tetra Tech's training cadre is equally
knowledgeable and routinely delivers a multitude of specialized, custom or FEMA approved training courses. In the
PAGE 2
It TETRA TECH
County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
past Tetra Tech has delivered a wide variety of training and exercises in Hawaii, with topics including hazardous
materials, pesticide releases, environmental response and catastrophic hurricane scenarios. In 2015, Tetra Tech
developed and provided an Executive Leadership Seminar/Exercise to the mayors and executive staff on each of the
four counties. Tetra Tech has broad capability to deliver basic, advanced, and specialized training courses whether
using existing approved curriculum or designing training courses from the ground up.
E. LOGISTICS PLANNING
As an island-based community, Hawaii faces unique logistical challenges. Drawing upon experience with numerous
logistics planning projects undertaken across the globe,Tetra Tech has specific insight into Hawaii's challenges based
upon work done as part of the project developing Hurricane Response Frameworks.As part of this project,Tetra Tech
conducted numerous stakeholder meetings and planning sessions to fully understand the intricacies and challenges
associated with Hawaii's hub-and-spoke logistics model.As part of this project, Tetra Tech oversaw the production of
county-level logistics annexes for each county, as well as specific sections tied to state-level objectives. In addition,
Tetra Tech has the ability to provide solutions to evolving logistics and resource management challenges.As part of a
project for the Chicago Area Regional Catastrophic Planning Team (RCPT), an area comprising multiple counties as
well as the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, Tetra Tech developed a Resource Database and web interface
designed to assist in pre-event logistics planning as well as responses to natural or manmade disasters.
F. COMMUNICATIONS PLANNING
Having conducted multiple communications planning and validation projects, including Tactical Interoperable
Communications Plans(TICP)at the State Level,Tetra Tech has the skillset and experience to provide this specialized
planning to the State of Hawaii. Combining both technical understanding, as well as efficient data collection
methodologies, Tetra Tech is able to quickly compile a picture of existing communications capabilities, identify gaps,
and recommend further actions needed to meet objectives. Furthermore, Tetra Tech also understands the importance
of redundancies, and has had great success in designing HSEEP compliant exercises in order to test and validate not
just primary systems, but their backup components as well.
G. PLANNING ASSESSMENTS
As a foundational element of most projects, especially those requiring a Gap Analysis, Tetra Tech frequently reviews
and assesses existing plans for sufficiency. In some cases plans may be inconsistent with existing capabilities, or fail
to meet legal and regulatory requirements. This has been especially evident in recent years as federal lawsuits have
been filed in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and New York City,alleging planning deficiencies in respect
to certain laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Tetra Tech is
acutely aware of these issues and includes them in all planning assessments.
H. OPERATIONS PLANNING
With a strong cadre of professionals spanning all disciplines, most of Tetra Tech's staff have previous experience in
the public sector, and have strong operational backgrounds.This understanding of how plans translate into real-world
applications is one of the reasons Tetra Tech's clients have repeatedly reengaged us to support operational planning
efforts. Rather than providing theory-based plans, Tetra Tech works with our clients to understand their needs and
tailor plans based upon the realities of their operational environment in relation to their existing capabilities. Tetra
Tech's portfolio contains multiple projects at the State-level, supporting both steady state and emergency response
operational plans.

I. RISK AND VULNERABILITY PLANNING
Tetra Tech is a leader in developing innovative risk-modeling and planning tools,which continue to be instrumental in
disaster planning and mitigation fields.Tetra Tech has experience in developing risk and vulnerability plans nationwide,
including State-level Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) required by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Our experience includes working directly with FEMA on the development
of hazard mitigation planning tools, such as Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazard (HAZUS-MH), which supports not only
mitigation plans, but rather provides an all-hazards approach in planning efforts of varying types. As a subset to this
field, Tetra Tech's expertise in the development of hazard mitigation plans is unrivaled. Not only do we provide support
by way of our enhanced risk assessments, but we work with our clients in the development of actual implementable
mitigation projects.
J. PORT AND HARBOR SECURITY PLANNING
As a special subset of planning support, Tetra Tech has supported ports and harbors nationally with security
assessments, threat analysis, preparedness, and strategic planning. In addition to our cadre of planers and security
experts,Tetra Tech employs a number of maritime experts,including former Coast Guard personnel such as the former
Director of Planning for the Coast Guard, Captain John Weber, USCG, Ret., and the former Chief of Port Operations
for Honolulu Harbor, Lt. Commander Chris Curatilo, USCG, Ret. Tetra Tech provides extensive support for the Port of
Los Angeles and in 2014 completed a statewide exercise for all of the Ports in California focusing on Cyber Security.
Tetra Tech is currently supporting the Port of San Francisco to validate existing plans by providing a training and
exercise program as well as support for plan revisions.
K. SOCIOECONOMIC RESEARCH &ANALYSIS
The Tetra Tech Team conducts in-depth research and analysis to establish baseline conditions and trends for most of
our planning projects. Understanding the socioeconomic trends is a cornerstone to our planning so we can make
recommendations that can be implemented.We routinely use available data and information, including the US Census
Bureau Local Employment Dynamics, InfoUSA, Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, ESRI Business Analysts, existing
local plans and studies, news and print publications, and other information as appropriate.
After conducting our research and analysis, our team can develop a regional assessment that provides defensible
estimates of current market conditions and opportunities for supportable future growth across various economic
sectors.This assessment includes detailed market data and analysis to refine goals and objectives and identify specific
economic development and redevelopment strategies.
Population—Our evaluation of population and socioeconomic characteristics and trends include a review of key data
sources such as the United States Census, American Community Survey, and local reports and studies. Information
will be collected and evaluated related to population growth or decline, race, age,educational attainment, income, and
specific vulnerable populations such as the homeless, physically or mentally disabled, the elderly among others.
Our assessments help to identify opportunities for appropriate new growth and development and provides an overview
of market indicators such as population and household trends, key economic drivers, spending potential and
preferences, and the current balance of supply and demand. In particular, Tetra Tech team utilizes both quantitative
(i.e., data collection and analysis) and qualitative (i.e., stakeholder interviews) analyses to validate and consider the
depth of the market for a diversity of potential uses by analyzing current commercial supply (businesses, services,
sales,etc.)and demand(spending potential and preferences),as well as other factors such as workforce,demographic,
land use, and economic characteristics.

County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
The assessment will include a commercial gap analysis and leakage estimations, spending potential index (SPI),
location quotient, and the identification of current and emerging local economic-base industries. Combined with
qualitative information, this assessment will collectively present a detailed evaluation of the market. Using this series
of location-specific market analysis methodologies, including ESRI Business Analyst GIS modeling techniques, Tetra
Tech will seek to answer the following questions:
1. What is the current economic climate in the study area?
2. What business sectors show the greatest potential to drive new growth, development, or redevelopment
within the study area based on identified market conditions?
3. What is the current state of the housing stock, and how does this relate to housing demand and buyer
preferences?
4. What are the current characteristics (income, skills, education, spending preferences, etc.)of people living
in the target market?
5. What is the existing supply and revenue capture of business operations across each commercial sector?
6. What amount of spending by people within the market area across each sector is not captured within the
market area? If outside of the market area,where does this spending occur?
7. Based on the identified balance between supply and demand, how much new development could the
current market support across commercial sectors?
8. What underutilized resources are present in the planning area that could support the targeted uses or
provide opportunity for additional uses?
The results of the analysis will inform a final profile of a project area and will provide a foundation of information to:
inform strategic decision making;establish benchmarks for measuring future progress; allow for comparison and trend
evaluations; and, quantify market opportunities for future land uses and growth.
Housing Assessment— Our team uses data to evaluate current conditions and document existing housing stock
including buyer/renter preferences, potential deficiencies, rental and owner-occupied trends, structural age, home
values, presence and need for affordable housing among others. This can include determining housing affordability,
oversaturation of the housing market for a particular type of housing, or underrepresentation of a type of housing.
Our team will also collect quantitative information to validate the quantifiable data we obtain from the data sources
mentioned above. We will connect our public outreach and engagement efforts to obtain this quantitative data. Tetra
Tech Team will utilize both quantitative (e.g.,data collection and analysis)and qualitative (e.g.,stakeholder interviews,
public outreach)analyses to identify, define and validate existing conditions.
L. RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING
Tetra Tech's founding principle is to lead with science. As such, our team uses
state-of-the-art technology, practices, and concepts to identify natural and humanAZUI

caused risks and threats that provide a realistic, comprehensive understanding of
the potential impacts to their people, property, infrastructure, technology, supply
chain, and the overall economy. Based upon the needs and objectives of each ='
client, Tetra Tech develops scenarios and conducts asset-specific to enterprise-
wide modeling and estimates potential losses for all hazards,specializing in floods,
coastal inundation, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricane winds, tornadoes, sea level
rise, urban-wildland interface fires and atmospheric chemical releases.
Tetra Tech has extensive experience in use of FEMA's HAZUS risk assessment software and has served as a mission
support contractor for FEMA's advancement of the HAZUS software tool for conducting risk assessments.

Tetra Tech is a FEMA-certified HAZUS Vendor, which means we can certify state and local governments as official
HAZUS users and develop custom training programs.Our detailed analyses allow local,state and private organizations
to efficiently address the most significant risks they face, while minimizing the burden to its resources. This concept,
called "risk-informed planning", provides our clients with the ability to measure the risk reduction impacts of
preparedness/mitigation and/or resilience activities in the future to provide cost effective mitigation solutions today.
Tetra Tech is a leading provider of hazard mitigation planning services,especially in FEMA Region IX. Tetra Tech has
a 100%first pass track record of hazard mitigation plans (HMP),which are required under the Disaster Mitigation Act
of 2000 (DMA2000). Tetra Tech works diligently with diverse groups of stakeholders to complete tailored plans that
allow jurisdictions to apply for federally funded mitigation projects and post disaster reimbursement.
Tetra Tech completed the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update for Maui County in 2015 that was reviewed and swiftly
approved by both the State of Hawaii and FEMA Region IX. Tetra Tech subsequently completed the State of Hawaii
Hazard Mitigation Plan update for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA) in 2018, the Hawaii County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(to be finalized in June 2020), and recently commenced work on the Kauai County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation and Resiliency Plan in April 2020.
With a nuanced understanding of local Hawaiian issues and working relationships with many of the key stakeholders,
Tetra Tech's dedicated cadre of mitigation planners and specialists have been highly successful in leading diverse
groups of stakeholders to develop comprehensive and tailored mitigation plans. Critical for counties such as Maui,that
participate in the Community Rating System (CRS), Tetra Tech integrates certain requirements and activities into the
planning process to maximize points under CRS. Because of these efforts, Maui County scored hundreds of additional
points under CRS and was able to increase its CRS standing after Tetra Tech facilitated the 2015 mitigation plan
update process.As a direct result, Maui County residents participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
were eligible for a significant reduction in their insurance premiums.
Tetra Tech completed the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update for Maui County in 2015 that was reviewed and swiftly
approved by both the State of Hawaii and FEMA Region IX. Tetra Tech subsequently completed the State of Hawaii
Hazard Mitigation Plan update for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA) in 2018, the Hawaii County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update in 2020, the Kauai County Multi-Hazard Mitigation and Resiliency Plan in 2021
and was recently awarded the next State of Hawaii Hazard Mitigation Plan update for HIEMA(Spring 2022).
M. POLICY REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tetra Tech works closely with our local, state and federal clients to increase resilience by reviewing current policies
and governance structures and making recommendations to achieve community goals as well as the effectiveness of
current programs in achieving community compliance with various state and federal programs.A key to the success in
this arena is subject matter expertise in the programs that act as the impetus for policies and programs that are being
reviewed. Tetra Tech is equipped with subject-matter expertise by personnel that are familiar with policies and
programs because they used to implement them at local, state or federal levels. This process includes a thorough
review of literature, plans, policies and legislation as well as extensive outreach and collaboration with stakeholders. A
strong focus is placed on the outreach component to verify findings and provide further insight into potential
improvements to support the preparation of final recommendations.
Though our analysis, we can identify weaknesses and gaps, and make recommendations to expand or develop new
guidelines,ordinances and policies that balance regulatory control and recovery speed, protect sensitive environmental
and cultural resources, and incorporate mitigation and adaptation strategies throughout the process to increase
resilience for future hazards. Our support has included:conducting state and county-level reconstruction and resilience
workshops to inform the development of guidance and model resources; and, performing compliance assessments for

The impacts are usually wide spread with no deference to socio-economic differences. These differences usually do
not come in to play until a region is responding to and/or recovering from the impacts from a hazard event.Tetra Tech
has made the concept of assessing "social equity" a cornerstone of its emergency management and community
resilience practice because these socio-economic impacts are real and can be prepared for at a state and local level.
From including socio-economic factors in the core capability assessments performed under our hazard mitigation
planning efforts to including socio-economic demographic factors in our hazard risk assessments, Tetra Tech
professionals are able refine the strategies and recommendations of these plans and programs with an increased
resolution because these factors have been taken in to account.A key example of this practice in the City of Portland,
Oregon's"Mitigation Action Plan", developed by Tetra tech in 2016. This was one if the first hazard mitigation plans in
the Country developed with an overarching emphasis on social equity.This planning effort led to many of the standard
practices that have been folded into Tetra Tech's hazard mitigation planning practice.
S. NATURAL&CULTURAL RESOURCES RECOVERY
Tetra Tech specializes in the preparation of environmental and historic preservation reviews in support of disaster
recovery and hazard mitigation programs.This work is conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)
regulations of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD, 24 CFR Part 58) and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, 44 CFR Part 10). This work includes both desktop assessments utilizing
ESRI ArcGIS products and field reconnaissance; and in some cases where potential areas of environmental concerns
are located, more detailed investigations. Tetra Tech's in-depth understanding of program requirements allows us to
provide timely environmental review services in the wake of disasters.
Tetra Tech is assisting the County of Hawaii with a multiphase project to support recovery activities in the wake of the
2018 Kilauea Eruption.The outcome of this planning engagement is an Action Framework for Recovery and Resilience
(Action Framework) that will provide the County with a blueprint for a variety of strategies and projects to facilitate
meaningful recovery to the County residents and businesses that were displaced or impacted. The Action Framework
will consider and incorporate outcomes from planning studies and will be used to inform future decisions on prioritizing
expected federal and state grants available for long-term recovery as well as County general funds being used to
support recovery efforts. This includes more than $400M in state and federal recovery funding including the Stafford
Act, the Hazard mitigation Grant Program, and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs. In
addition, Tetra Tech is providing Strategic Communications support to the County.
We have supported the States of New Jersey and New York following Superstorm Sandy under U.S. HUD
environmental regulations. Tetra Tech has prepared over 20,000 Tier 2 site-specific reviews for the Restore Louisiana
program and supported FEMA after the California Valley Fire and Butte Fire disasters with environmental and historic
preservation support services.We also prepared a FEMA categorical exclusion for an Oahu rockfall mitigation project
and developed a cultural resources technical report, a report on the findings under Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, and a similar report of the Section 7 findings under the Endangered Species Act.
T. RECOVERY FINANCIAL/GRANT MANAGEMENT(FEMA, HUDICDBG-DR, FHWA, ETC.)
Tetra Tech is the nation's leading provider of post-disaster grant management and engineering services. We have
assisted clients in response to every major disaster occurring in the United States in the last 10 years. Our team has
obtained nearly$6 billion in reimbursement funds for our clients from federal agencies.

Transition from Response to Recovery—Leveraging the Recovery Funding
Tetra Tech has led some of the most challenging recovery and resiliency
plans across the country, covering community resiliency in the State of
New York, recovery efforts in the City of Houston, estuary health in the c�o"
Chesapeake Bay, recovery from devastating wildfires in California,flood '9p
protection and disaster recovery efforts in Louisiana, water supply in
California,and recovery planning in South Carolina.Our multidisciplinary
teams combine engineers, planners, architects, landscape architects,
and economists to identify unmet needs and propose recovery projects
that do not just address the recovery for housing, infrastructure and moo'
economic development, but also evaluate long term solutions to help
communities become more resilient.We have developed methodologies
that evaluate a variety of factors such as flood reduction, impacts to
vulnerable populations, environmental justice, resiliency, and economic
development impacts and prioritizing projects. By utilizing these
methodologies, we develop dynamic resiliency plans that leverage
federal and state funding sources and private partnerships to maximize the impact of the recovery.
Leverage Federal and State Funding Sources
We understand the various funding
sources that will be made available Michelle Krezek,Commissioners'Deputy
during the recovery from the disaster and Boulder County,Colorado,comments regarding the Tetra Tech team:
understand how to plan for and leverage
each source to maximize the use of the "Your team assisted us with FEMA PA Grant Program application
available funding. Our team's and administration, FHWA ER technical assistance, FEMA HMGP
grant application,and HUD CDBG-DR project identification,technical
understanding of the Federal Emergency assistance, and application development representing a combined

(including recent changes), and other Boulder County has been very pleased by the work of your team and
reimbursement agencies' requirements would absolutely recommend them to any other state or local
for eligibility, documentation, and government agency in the aftermath of a disaster."
reimbursement helps clients receive the
maximum reimbursement allowed.
Our team has obtained nearly$6 billion in reimbursement funds for our clients from federal agencies such as FEMA,
FHWA, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
We are also assisting with some of the largest appropriations of US HUD's Community Development Block Grant –
Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding. This unique funding is used to "fill the gaps" where the immediate recovery
has not been able to meet the need of the damage to housing, infrastructure and economic development/business
community.
Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs and Benefits
To leverage actions identified in the HMP update, eligible projects can be submitted for FEMA Hazard Mitigation
Assistance (HMA)grant and other sources of funding.Tetra Tech has in-depth knowledge of the FEMA HMA program
and grant writing, and extensive experience in calculating BCA ratios—resulting in a high rate of grant funding for our
County and municipal clients.
PAGE 11
It TETRA TECH
County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
We have applied this expertise to our grant application submittals for the following programs to assist in implementing
projects:
• Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
• Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
• Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
• (former) Repetitive Flood Claim Program (RFC)
• (former)Severe Repetitive Grant Program (SRL)
An additional added value is Tetra Tech's vast experience using FEMA's BCA software
to support hazard mitigation grants. Our insight into this process supports the
development of actionable and fundable mitigation projects. Since 2003,Tetra Tech has
provided technical support to prepare over 100 hazard mitigation grant program
applications that included over 1,000 BCAs and secured over $50 million in grant
funding. This support was for both FEMA 404 and 406 mitigation grant funding. Our
success rate on these applications exceeds 80%. These analyses covered a variety of BCA
projects, including property acquisitions; retrofits; minor flood control;wildfire mitigation;
seismic retrofits; and landslide mitigation projects.
Each of these analyses was performed using FEMA approved software sanctioned at the time of the application
development. FEMA has drawn on Tetra Tech's experience in BCAs by using us as a beta tester for the development
of the agency's latest software deployment, Benefit Cost Analysis Re-engineering (BCAR).The development of BCAR
represented a major overhaul of the philosophy behind the concepts and tools that drive BCAs. FEMA asked Tetra
Tech to apply its expertise to provide comments on the new model with a primary focus on the flood modules of BCAR.
Tetra Tech's input during this test phase resulted in several significant changes and enhancements to the BOAR model
before it was officially released in 2009. Tetra Tech continues to provide input to the BCA helpline on issues identified
in the field of measuring cost effectiveness.
Our team has performed hundreds of BCAs, and has secured millions of dollars to implement projects within the
following categories:
• Structural Elevations and Acquisitions
• Stormwater Drainage Improvements, and Collection Systems and Pumping Stations
• Bulkheading/Tide Check Valve Projects, and Outfall Improvements
• Roadway Elevation
• Rock Revetment/Bank Stabilization, and Berm and Diking
• Wind Retrofit Projects (glazing,foundation ties, roof clips, storm shutters)
• Wet and Dry Floodproofing
• Landslide Mitigation and Seismic Retrofits
• Co-Generation Facilities
Our Tetra Tech team has experience assisting with the full list of services below:
1. FEMA Public Assistance(PA) Reimbursement Support.
2. Preparation of Road Repair Procurement Packages.
3. Performance of Outstanding Needs Assessment.

4. Disaster Debris Monitoring. Tetra Tech monitors disaster debris drop-off locations and debris collection
vehicles removing debris from public rights of way to ensure that the municipality is properly charged for the
debris removal services provided.
5. FEMA, NRCS and State Meetings.Tetra Tech participates in meetings with FEMA and the State, including
the Applicant Briefing, FEMA Kick-Off Meeting and FEMA Advanced Evaluation Team to identify the long-
term recovery needs and funding sources available.
6. Long-Term Recovery Funding and Strategy Development.
7. Long-Term Recovery Workshop Facilitation.Tetra Tech works with the municipality to facilitate workshops
to provide a brief on the status of the recovery effort and long-term recovery path forward.
8. Consulting Services to Recovery Managers. Tetra Tech has experience providing full-time staff members
to act as the Assistant Local Disaster Recovery Manager. Our role in these instances is to advise and mentor
the Recovery Manager, to help the region's VOADs establish a Long-Term Recovery Group, and to assist in
coordinating all recovery efforts with other local and State jurisdictions and agencies.
9. Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery Services.Tetra Tech assists the municipality
in first winning a direct CDBG-DR allocation from HUD, and then facilitating the process to develop the
implementation plan and action plan for their CDBG-DR program. Tetra Tech assists the municipality in
submitting substantial and minor amendments to the action plan for their CDBG-DR program.
10. Community Development Block Grant — Disaster Recovery Implementation. Tetra Tech provides
services to oversee and manage the implementation of the CDBG-DR action plan to include single-family
home repairs, mobile home replacements,small rental rehabilitation, public infrastructure project support,and
HMGP buyout local match for residential and non-residential buyouts.
These services include extensive support to Housing, Infrastructure and Economic Development Programs.
Tetra Tech staff members work full-time to implement the CDBG-DR case management and construction
oversight as well CDBG-DR program management. Case managers work directly with residents to compile
their applications for the housing programs. Tetra Tech cost estimators/inspectors complete all Housing
Program scopes of repair and cost estimates using Xactimate® software. Throughout the rehabilitation of
homes, cost estimators/inspectors provide construction supervision and all necessary inspections for both
HUD and local building code compliance.
11. FEMA HMGP Grant Application Services.Tetra Tech provides services to develop the municipality's HMGP
full applications to the State and to FEMA.
12. With all recovery funding,there will be numerous rules and regulations that must be followed. One consistent
requirement will be preforming environmental reviews. Our team prepared over 27,000 HUD-required Tier 2
environmental reviews over the last four years, including more than 15,000 reviews in response to the 2016
Louisiana floods and 4,500 reviews in response to Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey. Our staff
has also unmatched experience performing over 6,000 HUD-required lead assessments and testing.
U. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Communication with key stakeholders and residents is a cornerstone of successful projects.Tetra Tech always begins
a planning or disaster recovery project with defining a comprehensive strategic outreach and communication plan. Our
first step is to work with our clients to define the vision and outcomes of a communication plan, by asking the following
questions:
• What specifically would we like to accomplish?
PAGE 13
[Thi
ThTETRA TECH
County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
• Are there certain types of data that we need to obtain?
• Do we want the stakeholders to provide opinions or rank concerns or issues?
• Do we want them to prioritize implementation activities?
We understand some disaster recovery funding sources require public outreach and it will be important to incorporate
these requirements. Our experience with US HUD's CDBG-Disaster Recovery funding program has some
requirements that we will need to include in our plan.
Once we have this clearly defined, our next step is to work with our clients to identify all key stakeholders that should
be a part of one or more communication strategies, and then identify what methods would be best to engage them in
the process. We customize our strategy for outreach and public engagement and usually use a combination of
methods:
✓ Public meetings and facilitated discussions While working on a comprehensive recovery and
✓ Design charrettes resilience project in the Village of Margaretville,
✓ Public events and stakeholder meetings New York, our team developed a comprehensive
✓ Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) outreach strategy that resulted in our client, the
✓ One-on-one interviews Village of Margaretville, winning the"Rising to the
✓ Electronic and hard-copy surveys Top" competition for excellence in public outreach
✓ Direct Mailings, post cards, and marketing and$3 million for the implementation of projects
materials identified in their plan.
✓ Media relations, editorials and interviews in local
newspapers and trade journals
Tetra Tech will use its multidisciplinary team,including numerous accredited and charrette-certified outreach specialists
and planners to prepare the materials, conduct the public meetings and analyze and synthesize the input. Our
experience working with key stakeholders throughout a project helps to identify any issues and concerns, and allows
us to address and assist with prioritization, leading to project implementation.
Living through disasters, like those experienced in the County of Hawaii , is an extremely traumatic event, and Tetra
Tech understands this sensitivity. Lives have been impacted and livelihoods can be impacted for generations.We can
assist by organizing public meetings in neighborhoods throughout the community, translating our analysis and
assessment to explain the disaster in an approachable way, and providing a venue for citizens to come together.
As communities begin to rebuild after disasters, we have proven ourselves to be adept at working with many diverse
groups of stakeholders. We have experience facilitating meetings with private citizen advisory groups, private
developers, non-profit advocacy organizations, city agencies, and officials across many independent jurisdictions. We
understand the importance of obtaining feedback from a variety of perspectives to capture critical aspects that are
often difficult to quantify.
Recovery means more than rebuilding infrastructure, it means strengthening the economy, maintaining the character
of the community to encourage long term growth and vitality, acknowledging the stress and fear that accompanies a
natural disaster, and listening to many different voices. This involves a rigorous process of weaving together
communication professionals with technical engineers and scientists, resulting in an engaged community to support
the long-term recovery process.
V. STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS
After a major disaster strikes an area, strategic communication between the many local, state and federal agencies
responding to that disaster is mission critical to assuring a smooth transition from responding to the event to recovering
PAGE 14
It TETRA TECH
County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
from it. The line between response and recovery is not always well defined, and if effective communication channels
are not established, this line can become very hard to find. Strategic communication planning is a key component of a
well-developed post-disaster action plan,which is not a typical capability at the local level. Tetra Tech understand this
fact and supports communities in developing this core capability across all its emergency management and community
resilience sub-practices. Whether it is identified as a gap in a community's core capability assessment in a hazard
mitigation planning effort, or as an after action finding following a response requiring and EOC activation, Tetra Tech
professionals understand the importance of a strategic communication plan that is structured to address multiple
scenarios at the state and local level. Tetra Tech has a deep resume of project experience where strategic
communication planning played an integral role in the success of the project. Tetra Tech's in-house experts provide
and implement all components of strategic communications plans throughout all stages of emergency management.
Our expertise includes multimedia, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedln), advertising, and public and media
relations experience to address a community's crisis communications needs.

services to develop and implement effective adaptation and mitigation solutions. In
2013 and again in 2019,the Climate Change Business Journal honored Tetra Tech with the Climate Risk Management
and Adaptation award for providing integrated solutions to climate change.
Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment
The impact of sea level rise resulting from climate change presents an imminent threat to the economy, sustainability,
security, and way of life in Hawaii,with the potential to cause loss of roads, utilities, and structures across the state. In
2014 the Hawaii State Legislature passed the Hawaii Climate Adaptation Initiative, mandating the first statewide sea
level rise vulnerability assessment to provide a basis for recommendations on reducing exposure and increasing
adaptability.
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), contracted Tetra Tech to prepare the Hawaii Sea
Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Report,which DLNR submitted to the State Legislature in December 2017. For
this report, Tetra Tech conducted a statewide sea level rise vulnerability assessment that included Hawaii, Maui,
Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and developed recommendations to reduce
exposure and increase the capacity of the state to adapt to sea level rise. Tetra Tech collaborated with multiple
entities—including the DLNR, Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands, University of Hawaii, state and county
governments, and the Hawaii Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Commission—to produce the Report.
In addition, Tetra Tech was contracted by the Hawaii Sea Grant College Program to develop guidance for integrating
sea level rise in county and community plans. Working with county planners, the guidance will help counties together
with their communities and partners address sea level rise through their existing planning processes. Case studies will
PAGE 15
It TETRA TECH
County of Hawaii,Planning Department: PL.4 Community Planning[Plans]Qualifications—FY 2025
be used to improve understanding of opportunities and challenges to increase resilience to coastal hazards and sea
level rise through planning and post disaster reconstruction.
In 2021,Tetra Tech completed a Maui County Beach Parks Vulnerability Assessment for the Maui County Department
of Parks and Recreation. This project included a detailed analysis of the vulnerability of Maui County's beach parks
and developing recommendations to address short and long-term impacts of coastal hazards, climate change, and
other environmental threats.
In 2021, Tetra Tech was contracted by the County of Hawaii to develop the technical foundation to revise the County's
shoreline setback rules to more effectively reduce risk to coastal hazards and climate change.Tetra Tech is developing
a coastal hazards typology island-wide to support the analysis of policy-induced vulnerabilities and identification data
gaps. In addition, a pilot study of using shoreline certification reports to determine shoreline changes rates has been
completed. Tetra Tech will integrate the results of new data collection provided by UH-Hilo Spatial Data Analysis and
Visualization Lab in defining shoreline typologies for the island that can be used to develop shoreline setback rules by
typology.
In 2021, Tetra Tech was subcontracted by Focused Planning Solutions to prepare the County of Hawaii Climate
Adaptation Plan.The first phase of this project,to develop a project work plan,was completed in November 2021.The
second phase of the project will be to prepare the Climate Adaptation Plan. Key activities conducted to develop the
Work Plan include: identification of climate threats; identification of County assets and systems at risk (parks &
beaches, critical infrastructure, socio-economic,fiscal, etc.); and, identification of criteria that can be used to prioritize
assets for adaptation projects.
X. OTHER SERVICES
In addition to the extensive scope of services discussed above, Tetra Tech can offer as-needed general technical and
programmatic support, including a broad range of embedded staffing and temporary staff subcontracting (professional
and administrative positions).

Tetra Tech has a comprehensive Corporate Quality
Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan that guides the preparation of all our projects and ensures that all are
completed with consistent quality and in accordance with appropriate regulatory requirements, codes, standards, and
criteria. The plan stresses continuous improvement: success stories and lessons learned on past projects are
communicated and shared with our staff,so that future projects can benefit. Under our QA/QC procedures,all technical
evaluations are planned, controlled, and documented in enough detail regarding purpose, method, assumptions, and
units so that a technically qualified person may review, understand, and verify the analyses. Technical work is verified
by peer review, alternative calculations, qualification testing, or senior review before final release. Documents are
prepared following style guides that are modified to meet our customers' specific requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES
Tetra Tech is well known for complying with time-sensitive project schedules and responding to clients work requests
efficiently, accurately, and with the highest level of quality. Some of these projects, such as development of the
Catastrophic Hurricane Response Frameworks for the Hawaii RCPT, had extremely demanding schedules. Despite
these deadlines,Tetra Tech works with our clients to develop aggressive but achievable timelines to deliver high quality
on-schedule documents.
Adherence to schedules is of utmost importance to Tetra Tech. Our Program Managers, Project Managers, and staff
understand funding limitations, and that the easiest way to stress a project budget is to let the schedule slip.
Furthermore, we understand the importance of supporting the regulatory and grant funding milestones of our clients.
The project management team works with our client points of contact to develop and maintain a project plan using
Microsoft Project and detailing project milestones.

Period of Performance: 2017-2019
The Oahu Coastal Communities Evacuation Project is a critical preparedness effort for the residents and visitors of
Oahu, which will result in much needed tsunami evacuation routes, signage and designated Safe Sites correlated
with updated tsunami modeling. In fall 2017, Tetra Tech, Inc. was contracted by the City and County of Honolulu's
(City) Department of Emergency Management(DEM)to complete Phase 2 of this effort. Phase 1 of the project had
been completed in 2015 under contract with a consulting team led by Atkins,and Phase 2 was designed to complete
tsunami evacuation routing and Safe Site identification for the southern coast of Oahu which was not addressed in
Phase 1.
To assist the City in promoting vertical evacuation, Phase 2 included the design and development of an engineering
evaluation tool to serve as the basis for a future Tsunami-Safe Vertical Evacuation Program. This Engineering
Assessment Tool was developed by Tetra Tech's Team subcontractor Degenkolb Engineers in close coordination
with the Hawaii Earthquake and Tsunami Advisory Committee (HETAC). Phase 2 also included geocoded sign
placements supported by mapping and pictures of each location with digital representations of installed signs,either
on existing poles or recommended installation sites. Another a major component of Phase 2 was the identification
and selection of Safe Sites to be used as a place of refuge during a Tsunami event.
As a culminating task, Tetra Tech worked closely with DEM to develop approved language describing project
outcomes,such as evacuation routes,signage and safe sites for dissemination and future outreach efforts. In doing
so, Tetra Tech and DEM looked to balance the nuances of the project and terminology while ensuring consistent
and simplified messaging that will be easily understood not only by residents, but by visitors with limited exposure
to existing tsunami plans and signage.

Tetra Tech created a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) Planning Guide for use in the State of Hawaii
by its four(4) LEPCs: County of Maui, County of Kauai, County of Hawaii and the City&County of Honolulu. Tetra
Tech researched LEPC planning requirements under federal and state law known respectively as the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and the Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right
to Know Act(HEPCRA). The research focused on whether or not distinct and separate LEPC emergency plans are
required and to what extent LEPC requirements can be met by County EOPs. Tetra Tech conducted a review of all
four (4) county-level EOPs. Upon completion, Tetra Tech provided analysis and recommendations for future
revisions based upon best practices. Tetra Tech aggregated best practices for emergency management planning
and the findings from Task 1 into an LEPC Planning Guide for use in the State of Hawaii. Rather than a template,
the planning guide defined expectations and requirements for LEPCs under EPCRA and HEPCRA, while
emphasizing a flexible approach and providing guidance based upon best practices. The guidance produced was
consistent with FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide(CPG) 101,Version 2 as well as the National Incident
Management System (NIMS).

Period of Performance: May 2019—June 2020
The unique landscape of the County of Hawaii originates from volcanic activity. The Kilauea eruption of 2018 provides
the most recent evidence of volcanic hazard risk in the County. Impacts to natural and cultural resources, housing,
infrastructure,the economy, health and social services, and community planning and capacity building were felt in Puna
and island wide. Numerous challenging decisions must be addressed about recovery and rebuilding, including how and
where to rebuild or repair damages to reduce risk from future events.
The County of Hawaii Volcanic Risk Assessment describes, and to the extent possible, quantifies risk from volcanic and
other natural hazards. The assessment defines High Hazard Areas at greatest risk to future volcanic events and other
natural hazards.The assessment was conducted to support recovery and hazard mitigation planning and provide strategic
focus for the use of limited recovery and mitigation funds.
The entire County of Hawaii is subject to future volcanic activity. Volcanic activity is comprised of multiple hazards that
are not all reflected on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) lava-flow hazard zone map. All hazards related to volcanic
activity on the island were identified and defined. Best available data at the time of this assessment was then gathered
and compiled in a spatial format.The USGS lava-flow hazard zone map, historic lava flow inundation, USGS peak ground
acceleration (PGA) mapping, and National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) soil classifications were
used.A Core Planning Team was formed at the County and, in consultation with USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
(HVO),they identified the areas that present the greatest risk to the volcanic hazard from these data sources to delineate
a Volcanic High Hazard Area (VHHA). Additional Natural High Hazard Areas were also delineated as part of the
assessment.
The VHHA is the combined areas of lava zones 1 and 2(with a 1,000-foot buffer), historic lava flow areas dating back to
1790, and NEHRP class soils D and E. Lava zones 1 and 2 were selected because, according to USGS, they are the
zones identified with the greatest severity to the lava flow hazard. A 1,000-foot buffer was applied to each lava zone 1
and 2 to account for the uncertainty of the location to these boundaries. Historic lava flow events and associated
inundation extent were only available for the last 230 years;however,they were included because lava zones do not have
an associated probability and, when considering policy and mitigation, it is important to understand where previous
impacts have occurred to avoid future repetitive losses. Further, NEHRP-classified D and E soils, which amplify and
magnify ground shaking and increase building damage and losses,were also included in the VHHA.
A spatial analysis was conducted to determine the number of residents, buildings, critical facilities, roads, natural and
cultural resources located within each of the USGS lava flow zones, as well as the VHHA; also known as an exposure
assessment. In addition, the assets considered most vulnerable to hazard exposure were identified,where possible.
It is also important to understand exposure relative to other natural hazards, when examining exposure to the volcanic
hazard,so that the design of recovery and mitigation strategies is robust and resilient to future events.As such,additional
Natural High Hazard Areas, including flood, sea level rise, landslide, tsunami, hurricane storm surge, wildfire, and dam
failure,were defined and assessed.
The results of the assessment are summarized for the County as a whole and for each Community Development Planning
(CDP) area in subsequent individual sections for ease of review and use of this information. It is recognized this risk
assessment represents a snapshot in time, based upon currently available data, that will continue to evolve and be
updated. However, high-level recommendations are included so this assessment may continue to serve as a foundation
to support risk-informed decision making.

Tetra Tech assisted the County of Hawaii with a multiphase project to support recovery activities in the wake of the 2018
Kilauea Eruption and subsequent federal disaster declaration. For more than a year, Tetra Tech worked closely with the
County and conducted multiple rounds of data validation, community engagement, objective setting and project
identification, resulting in a Recovery and Resiliency Plan that provides the County with a blueprint for a variety of
strategies and projects to facilitate meaningful recovery to the County residents and businesses that were displaced or
impacted.
Tetra Tech performed the following key tasks as part of the development:
• GIS Database Validation and Development(Impact datasets, land use, infrastructure, hazard data)
• Stakeholder Coordination, Facilitation,and Engagement(Federal, State, County, non-profit,and public)
• Stakeholder Workshops
• Volcanic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategies
• Scenario Planning and Recovery Strategies
• Decision Framework and Project Planning Tool
• Plan Integration
• Capacity Assessment
• Community Development Block Grant Disaster Reduction Action Plan (CDBG-DR Action Plan)
• Recovery and Resiliency Plan Development
The Recovery and Resilience Plan was designed and developed to be aligned with the General Plan update as well as
Hawaii County's Community Development Plans. The Recovery and Resilience plan was developed in parallel to the
Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and is being used to inform future decisions on prioritizing expected federal
and state grants available for long-term recovery as well as County general funds being used to support recovery efforts.
This includes more than $250M in state and federal recovery funding including the Stafford Act, the Hazard mitigation
Grant Program, and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs. In addition, Tetra Tech is providing
Strategic Communications support to the County.
Tetra Tech organized multi-disciplinary planning workshops with Federal, State and County partners to identify impacts,
define needs, and identify recovery and mitigation projects. In addition, Tetra Tech supported several "Speak Out
engagements developed by the County to educate the public on the process and gather specific information and
suggestions on recovery priorities. Using these and other engagement methods, Tetra Tech worked with the County to
identify and gather potential recovery project suggestions, not only from County departments, but from non-profit
organizations, the business community and the public. Potential projects were identified and outlined into a project
tracking tool.
As an additional scope item,Tetra Tech wrote grant applications and Benefit Cost Analysis for multiple proposed projects
encompassing more than $100M in requested funding through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and
continued support during the state and federal application process until the end of the project.

Tetra Tech was engaged by the Burlington County, New Jersey, Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to
develop a strategic plan to increase the resiliency of the county's business community in times of emergencies and
disasters. Following an analysis of the private sector businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in
the county, Tetra Tech proposed the establishment of a public-private partnership (PPP)and the development of a
strategic plan that the PPP could implement in order to organize and operate.
Tetra Tech conducted several meetings with private sector stakeholders interested in disaster preparedness to
introduce and educate them about the aspects of the PPP. Through the establishment of the PPP, the county
provides businesses with the information necessary to assess their risks to natural and human-caused hazards with
the goal of these entities developing business continuity plans that are mutually supportive to the county emergency
operations plan. Further,the PPP will support government and NGOs in Burlington County in developing an effective
system of coordinating resources in times of emergency. The county will facilitate private sector involvement,
information, and education in community-wide preparedness and recovery.
The comprehensive PPP strategic plan that Tetra Tech developed provided all of the guidance necessary for the
initial and intermediate steps of the establishment of the partnership. It includes strategic goals and objectives,
aspects of partnership organization, partnership principles for success, communications plan, bylaws, Burlington
County business directory, brochures for self-promotion, and a business continuity plan template and guide. While
such emergency management PPPs exist in other regions of the country, Tetra Tech's PPP initiative and strategic
plan for Burlington County has been viewed as a model by other counties throughout New Jersey.

Period of Performance: August 2011 —July 2012
Tetra Tech was contracted by the Burlington County, Office of Emergency Management for project management
services for the county's exercise series, Operation Quick Disconnect. The Quick Disconnect program was a multi-
phased approach to the validation of internal county policy and procedures using a homeland security exercise
evaluation program exercise and training series. Phase one of the exercise program included the planning,
execution, and evaluation of a tabletop exercise designed to validate internal policy and procedures for the
Burlington County's Central Communications Center, the countywide 9-1-1 center. This tabletop exercise focused
its objectives on the actions of county telecommunication staff to respond to an incident that forces the evacuation
and relocation of all Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) services to their planned municipal based redundant
sites.
Phase two of Operation Quick Disconnect was developed based on the findings from the phase one tabletop
exercise.The modification of internal policy and procedure for communication staff developed the need for additional
training in the area of evacuation. Tetra Tech, in coordination with emergency management staff from the county,
developed a multimedia-based training program designed to be delivered to all staff within the central
communications center. This program provided an overview of the triggers to activate the communications center
evacuation plan, the procedures for terminating operations during emergency conditions and the process for
operating within the assigned off-site municipal based emergency locations.The intent of the program was to provide
a training program that can be delivered in a short duration of time and on an annual basis to ensure staff awareness
of the county evacuation procedures.
The final phase of Operation Quick Disconnect was the development of a full-scale exercise with the intent to validate
the assumptions made during the original drafting and modification of the evacuation policy and procedure. In
addition to the validation of the policy and procedure,this exercise provided county information technology staff with
the opportunity to validate their procedures in the emergency relocation of operations to an off-site location and
neighboring counties. The exercise held staff from the outgoing shift as redundant services while the new shift
employees populated the off-site operations center.
Throughout the planning of this project, Tetra Tech provided expertise in project management and exercise design
to the county. The development of an exercise planning committee comprised of county staff combined with Tetra
Tech staff ensured the scenario was representative of the county and the operations within the facility. Tetra Tech
provided support to Burlington County for the remaining phases of the exercise program, including planning,
execution, evaluation, and the after action/improvement planning process.

Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) and its teaming partners,Atkins North America (Atkins) and Hagerty Consulting, LLC
(Hagerty) determined the current state of evacuation planning in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the
Commonwealth) and developed a plan for the coordination of evacuation efforts by the Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency (MEMA). Throughout the project, Tetra Tech and its teaming partners worked with the
Commonwealth's Project Management Team (PMT), comprised of representatives from MEMA, the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation (MassDOT), the Massachusetts Office on Disability, regional transportation
authorities, local cities and towns, the American Red Cross (ARC), and others.
In the first phase of the project, Tetra Tech determined the state of evacuation planning throughout the
Commonwealth. To this end, Tetra Tech conducted meetings with state, regional, and local stakeholders in each
MEMA Region. During these meetings, Tetra Tech gathered information on the stakeholders' experience with
effecting evacuations, the challenges and successes in conducting evacuation efforts, and the expectations that
exist regarding intergovernmental coordination between local jurisdictions and MEMA. Tetra Tech compiled the
results of this information gathering effort into an Initial Findings Report, which discussed the findings in terms of
existing evacuation planning efforts, evacuation experiences, evacuation resources available throughout the
Commonwealth,concerns regarding the adequacy of the roadway infrastructure to support a large-scale evacuation,
and intergovernmental coordination.
In the next phase of the project, Tetra Tech and Atkins examined the transportation and infrastructure resources to
support multi-hazard evacuations at the regional and state levels, and the capabilities of the Commonwealth and
local jurisdictions to conduct evacuations. Tetra Tech and Atkins created a database of information on key
transportation infrastructure, including highways, bridges, and tunnels to help local jurisdictions enhance their
planning efforts. In addition,Atkins conducted extensive research on best practices in place throughout the country
for carrying out evacuations and organized these best practices into a searchable reference tool. The infrastructure
and capability information and the best practices were then documented in a Capability Assessment and Best
Practices Report.
Future phases of this ongoing project include developing evacuation coordination plans for each MEMA Region
based on the statewide Evacuation Coordination Plan and providing a toolkit for each of the 351 cities and towns to
develop local evacuation plans that align with the Commonwealth's strategy.

In conjunction with All Hands Consulting and Hagerty Consulting, Tetra Tech was awarded a contract by the
NY/NJ/CT/PA Regional Catastrophic Planning Team (RCPT)to develop a method for delivering and communicating
information to executive decision makers. Concurrent with this effort, an Executive Stakeholder Program designed
to elicit feedback from regional, county and city executive leadership on what type of information was needed and
to what scale or detail guidance would be desired during a regional catastrophic event.
Tetra Tech and its partners facilitated more than a dozen meetings with executive leadership from state and local
governments across more than twenty regional counties along with the City of New York and the NJUASI. This
feedback culminated in the production of a Catastrophic Incident Executive (CAT-X) Playbook. This playbook is a
cutting edge data management and executive guidance tool designed from the ground up. To date it has received
nearly universal acknowledgement as the next step in the evolution of emergency management.

Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) identified hazards, assessed capabilities to respond to hazards, and updated the
hazard mitigation plan for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. During the first part of the project, Tetra Tech
identified and analyzed the natural and man-made threats, hazards, and risks faced by the Commonwealth and its
local jurisdictions. Expert judgment and stakeholder input was used to determine relevant hazards, the severity of
their threat to the Commonwealth, and the Commonwealth's vulnerability to and expected consequences from those
hazards. Tetra Tech analyzed federal-level critical infrastructure data to help the project team evaluate the risks
different hazards pose to the Commonwealth and its assets, systems, and infrastructure.
During the second part of the project, Tetra Tech evaluated the capabilities of the Commonwealth and each
homeland security planning region and documented the ways those capabilities were developed using previous
homeland security grant funding. Future grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security(DHS)and Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are going to focus on reducing jurisdictions' risk from natural and man-
made hazards.To be able to demonstrate the ways funding will be used to reduce risk,the Commonwealth first had
to establish its core level of competency based on capabilities it had developed over the past several years. To
assess the capabilities, Tetra Tech met with representatives of each of the five homeland security planning regions
to compare local and regional capabilities against the National Preparedness Goal's Core Capabilities. Then, Tetra
Tech met with a multi-disciplinary, state-level work group organized around each of the Core Capabilities to assess
the Commonwealth's capabilities. The local/regional assessment was combined with the Commonwealth-level
assessment to determine the emergency management and emergency response community's capabilities across
the Commonwealth.
The risk assessment and capabilities assessment were then combined to determine the Commonwealth's
vulnerability to natural and man-made hazards. Tetra Tech used this analysis as the foundation of the
Commonwealth's Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment(THIRA), required by FEMA doctrine.
During the third part of this project, Tetra Tech updated the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' State Hazard
Mitigation Plan (HMP). Tetra Tech used the risk assessment described above (which exceeded the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000 [DMA 2000] requirements of HMPs)as the basis of the mitigation planning effort. Tetra Tech
met with a wide range of stakeholders in the Commonwealth to develop a mitigation strategy that incorporated and
built upon the local jurisdictions' and Commonwealth's capabilities to minimize the effects of all hazards.

that work together on a regular basis and require interoperability. Following the completion of these discussion-
based programs,the region will continue the advancement and modification of the existing plans to ensure lessons
learned are captured.
Phase 3 will conclude this exercise series with a region wide full-scale exercise program that will include federal and
international partners.This operations-based exercise will look to validate the regional planning as well as the newly
deployed technology supporting interoperability.
Through this exercise, the region intends to develop a follow-up series of training sessions to build in an
understanding and ability of interoperable technology.

26. HazMat Response Capabilities and Planning Assessment
Client Name and Address: Jersey City/Newark Urban Area Security Initiative
Primary Point of Contact: Helene Dougan
732.316.7146 email: helene.dougan@co.middlesex.nj.us
Contract Value: $199,000 E'.....
Period of Performance: April 2012—April 2013
The Jersey City/Newark (NJ) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) initiated a project to review hazmat response
capabilities in seven contiguous counties and two core cities. The project utilized a ground-up approach to gather
information from hazmat teams that support response activities throughout the UASI region. Information collected
during the project was used to assess the UASI region's overall response capabilities, identify potential training
gaps, review UASI region's equipment caches, and prioritize future grant expenditures.
To collect information on each team, the UASI region contracted with Tetra Tech to develop a web-based survey
tool. Teams completed an online survey, based on their jurisdictional responsibilities and general hazmat/WMD
response capabilities.
Tetra Tech arranged for on-site visits with each hazmat team.Teams with multiple platoons received a visit for each
platoon. Other teams received one on-site visit. During these site visits, Tetra Tech: (1) verified survey information
provided and asked a few additional follow-up questions and (2) conducted skills testing with each team/platoon.
Skills testing did not require dressing-out in PPE or lengthy equipment set ups(e.g.,decontamination lines,shelters,
etc.), but validated basic knowledge of hazmat plans, policies, and procedures. Part of the assessment involved a
short, scenario-based question and answer session, much like a tabletop exercise. A larger portion of the testing
involved use/demonstration of the team's more advanced/technical equipment, with a focus on UASI provided
equipment, as appropriate. Site visits/testing required approximately 3 hours start-to-finish.
The results of surveys and sight visits were compiled into a final report. The report detailed the strengths and areas
requiring improvement for each team assessed. Recommendations were developed for each individual team based
on the success of the practical exercises, interview, and tabletop scenario.Additional recommendations were made
based upon OSHA 1910.120 standards for hazardous materials response teams and other worker safety standards.

Primary Point of Contact: Jeff Trask
508.820.2053 email:jeffrey.trask@state.ma.us
Contract Value: $325,000
Period of Performance: January 2010—January 2011
Tetra Tech was awarded a contract by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to perform
multiple tasks related to hazmat response planning and biosafety level 2 and 3 emergency response planning and
exercising. These tasks included the creation of a statewide hazmat response plan, updating the local and regional
hazmat response template, and the creation of a biosafety level (BSL) 2 and 3 laboratory response template. The
assumptions made during the planning process of the BSL 2 and 3 template were validated via 5 tabletop exercises
(TTX) throughout the state.
While reviewing the local and regional hazmat response templates, Tetra Tech analysts discovered that the state
did not have an over-arching hazmat response plan. Tetra Tech's project manager brought this to the attention of
the MEMA point of contact, and Tetra Tech was assigned the task of creating the first statewide plan. Tetra Tech
analysts held several focus group meetings with the state emergency response committee to understand how the
state currently handles hazmat response at the local and regional levels, and then worked to integrate the home-
rule operations of a commonwealth state government with the process of requesting and utilizing federal assets.
Tetra Tech homeland security and emergency management specialists worked with local, state, university, and
private sector stakeholders in the development of the BSL 2 and 3 Response Template and during the TTX
development phase. Each TTX was conducted in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), under the Homeland Security and Exercise Evaluation Program (HSEEP). Tetra Tech
conducted 5 TTXs in Boston, Cape Cod, Amherst, Cambridge, and Worcester. The exercises brought together
stakeholder groups including public safety emergency response personnel, private sector BSL 2 and 3 facility safety
experts, personnel from local research universities, and public health officials. Participants developed new, or
strengthened existing, working relationships. Discussion included the need to protect private stakeholder interests
related to security and business information while balancing the need for emergency responders to pre-plan for
effective and efficient operations at these specialized facilities.
The exercise design team introduced several draft scenarios, highlighting different threats (physical, chemical,
biological, radiological, etc.)and situations (medical,fire,domestic/workplace violence)that emergency responders
would face in a laboratory setting. Each scenario presented both the facility and emergency responders with unique
challenges to overcome for a "normal" emergency response call because the location of each scenario was in a
BSL 2 or 3 facility. Security, access control, personal protection equipment, building searches, and awareness
training were discussion points that each stakeholder group gained a better perspective for the other's during the
discussions. Feedback from both biosafety officers and emergency responders was very positive in all five
deliveries.

Lucas County is a major urban region in located along the southern shores of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio. Lucas
County is approximately 843.5 square miles in total area with approximately seventy percent of its area in residential
or commercial development. The County includes ten municipal jurisdictions (Toledo being the largest) and eleven
Townships.As of the 2000 Census the population of Lucas County was approximately 455,030.
Tetra Tech has been contracted by Lucas County Emergency Management (EMA) to assist with reviewing and
updating the current annexed based county Emergency Operation Plan (EOP). As part of this project Tetra Tech
will also be combining the county EOP with the Emergency Plan for the City of Toledo into one Emergency Support
Function (ESF) based comprehensive EOP.
As part of this project Tetra Tech has and will perform the following tasks:
1. Tetra Tech conducted a critical review and complete an assessment of the Lucas County and City of Toledo
EOPs, functional Annexes and Hazard Specific Appendices for compliance with local, State, and Federal
guidelines and standards.
2. Tetra Tech identified and summarized gaps in the current plans and reviewed the assessment findings with the
Lucas County EMA and the Emergency Plan Working Group(EPWG).Tetra Tech conducted enough meetings,
as necessary,with the EPWG and others to facilitate the planning of the drafting process.
3. Tetra Tech worked with designated ESF Lead/Primary and Support Agencies to develop an updated Draft ESF
based EOP for Lucas County that addressed all hazards as defined by the current Lucas County Threat/Risk
and Capability Assessment and was consistent with state and federal guidance. The Draft EOP provided for a
comprehensive integrated approach for responding to and managing major incidents. Tetra Tech facilitated
review of the completed Draft EOP by EMA and ESF Lead/Primary/Support Agencies. Upon receipt of
comments, Tetra Tech revised and submitted the final EOP for review and acceptance by the Lucas County
Director of EMA and the Ohio EMA for final promulgation by the Board of Lucas County Commissioners.
4. Upon completion and acceptance of the EOP, Tetra Tech will develop and provide an EOP management tool
for rapid assessment and decision-making for use by local officials, first responders and public sector
department executives.
5. Tetra Tech will develop and facilitate an EOP Workshop for local officials and other EOP users that will provide
an overview of the new EOP and the manner in which it will serve Lucas County officials and other local
jurisdiction's that make up its political subdivisions.

201.319.3872
Contract Value: $425,000
Period of Performance: November 2006-2008
Hudson County,the most densely populated county in New Jersey,is located directly across the Hudson River from
Manhattan. In addition to addressing the county's extreme vulnerability to coastal storms and storm surge
inundation,this Disaster Mitigation Act(DMA)of 2000 planning project addressed both man-made and technological
hazards (including terrorism). Tetra Tech is preparing a multi-jurisdictional, all-hazard mitigation plan for all 12
jurisdictions in Hudson County. This project involves collecting and analyzing hazard data, inventorying critical
infrastructure and critical facilities,assessing vulnerability data,and completing risk assessments for various natural
hazards. Tetra Tech is working with various stakeholders to develop mitigation goals and objectives, conducting
public outreach, and developing mitigation strategies.
As part of this project, Tetra Tech is preparing the Hudson County Non-Natural Hazards Mitigation Study to help
Hudson County assess non-natural hazards and develop mitigation strategies to address those hazards. Mitigation
strategies specify actions to prevent, protect against,prepare for,and respond to events posing non-natural hazards.
Mitigation strategies fall into two types: (1)actions that occur in the built environment for prevention and protection
in order to reduce the likelihood of an event and therefore minimize need for response and recovery actions and (2)
actions that enhance response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of an event. Tetra Tech developed the
report in accordance with FEMA 386-7, Integrating Man-Made Hazards into Mitigation Planning. For this project,the
focus of"non-natural hazards" includes terrorist acts, considered the major threat objectives from the trans-national
terrorist perspective of attacking the"far enemy," including (1)killing as many Americans as possible, (2)disrupting
the American economy, and (3) inflicting a political impact large enough to cause a major U.S. foreign policy shift.
In order evaluate the county's ability to respond, we recognized the need to determine countywide vulnerabilities
and gaps in capabilities.Therefore,Tetra Tech referenced the national planning scenarios(NPS)developed by DHS
as the threat to Hudson County assets.Tetra Tech profiled each NPS attack by describing the method of attack and
consequences of the attack—quantifying the casualties, damage to infrastructure, evacuation or displacement of
persons, level of contamination, economic impact, and recovery timeline.
To generate mitigation strategies that align with the missions to prevent and protect sector-specific assets, Tetra
Tech collected and evaluated available data from existing vulnerability assessments. We used this data to (1)
prioritize each asset by consequence of loss of that asset, (2) normalize the threat across assets considering the
attractiveness of the asset, and (3)evaluate recorded in-place activities to deter, detect, delay, and respond to an
attack.To generate mitigation strategies that align with the missions of response and recovery,we identified actions
to address the gaps revealed in the capability assessment.

Period of Performance: December 2011 —Present
Tetra Tech and its teaming partners identified and analyzed the natural and man-made threats, hazards, and risks
faced by the thirteen counties of the PA Region 13 Task Force, which includes the Allegheny UASI region. Expert
judgment and region stakeholder input was used to determine relevant hazards, the threat they faced to the region,
and the region's vulnerability to and expected consequences from those hazards. This analysis serves as the
region's baseline Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment(THIRA), required by new FEMA doctrine.
The second part of the project was to assess the region's capabilities, and how those capabilities were developed
using previous homeland security grant funding. Tetra Tech met with each of the region's standing committees to
assess the region and its member jurisdictions against the existing Target Capabilities and the newly released Core
Capabilities of the National Preparedness Goal. As the final aspect of the project, Tetra Tech developed a
comprehensive report that presented the findings of the risk and capabilities assessments and identified actions to
take to decrease the region's overall vulnerability to natural and man-made hazards. The costs of these actions
were quantified to assist the region in developing a benefit-cost analysis of any future expenditures.
Future grants from DHS/FEMA are going to focus on reducing the risk faced by a jurisdiction to natural and man-
made hazards. To be able to demonstrate how funding will be used to reduce risk, the region first had to establish
its baseline based on capabilities it had developed over the past several years.The THIRA portion of the project did
just that. The region also wanted strategic guidance on where future funding should be spent to get the greatest
return on investment(i.e., the greatest reduction in overall risk). By demonstrating to the region which capabilities
are the strongest and which have significant room for improvement, as well as the risk reduction associated with
developing each of those capabilities, this project has given the region the tools its member jurisdictions need to
wisely spend ever-decreasing funding.
Tetra Tech subcontracted to Binera, Inc. (Binera) the performance of the risk assessment portion of the project.
Binera utilized its System-wide Multi-hazard Risk Tool(SMRT)system to analyze federal-level critical infrastructure
data to help the project team evaluate the risks that different hazards pose to the region and its assets, systems,
and infrastructure.
Tetra Tech also subcontracted to Filler Security Strategies, Inc. (Filler)to assist in identifying the specific risks that
each of the region and its assets, systems, and infrastructure faces.

Tetra Tech is under contract to support the Chicago Regional Catastrophic Planning Team(RCPT)efforts to develop
an evacuation system linking evacuation assembly points (EAP), regional hub reception centers (RHRC), and
shelters.These locations are needed to coordinate evacuation and mass care following catastrophic incidents within
the Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin Combined Statistical Area (IL-IN-WI CSA). Consistent with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) Whole Community approach, a synchronized effort across the jurisdictions within
the 16 counties in the IL-IN-WI CSA, the City of Chicago, and three states (Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin)will be
crucial.
The Whole Community approach promotes a paradigm shift from a government-centric emergency response
approach to a community-based system of core capabilities essential to successful response and recovery activities.
This approach views the public as an asset and encourages collaboration with citizen, local, state, and federal
response partners to address and mitigate community risks. Communities are encouraged to think creatively with
their resources and concepts of operations, understanding that regulatory waivers, alternative standards of care,
and policy changes may be necessary. By adopting the Whole Community approach,current IL-IN-WI CSA planning
guidance seeks not to void existing local, state, and federal planning products created through previous initiatives,
but rather to identify remaining gaps and retrofit existing plans as necessary to include the Whole Community
philosophy.
Tetra Tech is currently developing guidance documents to establish facility-specific plans for RHRCs and EAPs. To
staff these facilities,local managers are developing tools to accept the influx of affiliated and spontaneous volunteers
who will play a critical role in successfully operating a RHRC. The projects also include an outreach component to
local agencies, non-governmental organizations and the private sector in the planning effort to develop plan content,
and coordinate with their individual constituents.

The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG), representing the Hartford Urban Area Security Initiative,
retained Tetra Tech to perform a programmatic capability assessment and gap analysis for the Hartford,Connecticut
metropolitan area.The purpose of the engagement was to assist the Hartford region in developing a Strategic Plan
as well as a prioritized list of preparedness projects to help guide future homeland security grant investments.
Tetra Tech initiated the assessment process by conducting a hazard analysis for the region. Tetra Tech collected
all local,state,and federal disaster declaration information available to summarize historical disaster risk and impact.
This information was then compared with local and state hazard mitigation plans and other data (i.e. spill reports
from the National Response Center)to better clarify the true regional hazard and threat profile. Finally,each hazard
was assigned measures of probability and impact that reflected historical trends and current assumptions. Tetra
Tech used the results of the hazard analysis to establish the planning assumptions for the capability assessment
process.
Tetra Tech's assessment methodology was designed to evaluate each of the critical tasks in the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) Target Capability List. Tetra Tech worked with CRCOG to identify the appropriate
regional stakeholders to participate in the assessment process. Six work groups were established; each comprised
of stakeholders from the regional emergency support function (RESF) committees. Tetra Tech facilitated
assessment workshops with regional stakeholders using the Pilot-Capability Assessment Tool (P-CAT), developed
by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. An average score was calculated for each target capability, based
on the stockholder's responses to between 12 and 40 critical task descriptions required to support the target
capability.
Tetra Tech analyzed the results of the assessment process, recording both the existing capability descriptions and
gaps into a draft assessment report. Preliminary recommendations for enhancement projects related to each target
capability were also presented in the draft assessment report.Tetra Tech then facilitated a workshop with the Urban
Area Workgroup membership where the preliminary assessment findings relative to the hazard analysis and the
existing Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy were presented. The UAWG membership was then asked to rank
each target capability as high, medium, or low priority. Tetra Tech converted the rankings into a quantitative metric
and used the results from the ranking process to prioritize the target capabilities for the region. Based on the outcome
of this process, consensus was reached on the top 10 priority capabilities for the region and Tetra Tech developed
an implementation plan for each capability, identifying project objectives, steps, and performance measures that
could be translated into future grant investment justifications.

As part of a broader and ongoing set of services,Tetra Tech facilitated the development of a comprehensive hazard
mitigation plan that addressed both natural and non-natural hazards.Working with the local jurisdictions,Tetra Tech
collected data to update the base map inventory in HAZUS-MH and updated maps to support the flood modeling
aspects of the project. Using the combined planning, GIS, modeling, and hydrology expertise of the project team,
Tetra Tech prepared a hazard mitigation plan that resulted in FEMA awarding Roseville a Class 1 rating in the NFIP
Community Rating System (CRS). This was, and continues to be, the first and only such rating achieved in the
country throughout the history of the NFIP CRS program. The plan is still the highest scoring plan in the country
under the CRS program.
The Roseville HMP and associated modeling and analysis has become the benchmark for successful flood and
hazard mitigation planning at the jurisdictional level and is currently being used by academic institutions (New York
University and the University of Washington) in graduate-level urban planning curriculum as examples of good
planning. Tetra Tech has developed a long-standing relationship with the city since the completion of the initial
planning effort, and recently completed the 5-year update to the HMP plan per DMA and CRS requirements. This
update includes a comprehensive analysis of dam and levee failure.
Tetra Tech continues to provide services to the City of Roseville via an annual"on-call"contract to support the City's
nationally acclaimed CRS and Hazard Mitigation programs. As the nation's first and only CRS class 1 community,
Roseville has become the national role model for pro-active floodplain management and hazard mitigation. Tetra

Period of Performance: August 2009—December 2010
Tetra Tech was selected to develop a strategic plan for the Los Angeles/Long Beach Urban Area (LA/LB UA) and
the Los Angeles County Operational Area(LACOA). This plan is essential to enhance the region's ability to prevent,
protect against, respond to, and recover from catastrophic events related to acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and
manmade disasters.
The capabilities assessment incorporated the use of both target capabilities list(TCL)requirements and emergency
support function (ESF)subject matter experts(SME). We identified resource requirements associated with FEMA's
Gap Analysis Program (GAP). Data collected for the assessment was divided into two categories: quantitative and
qualitative. Separating the analysis into two categories ensured the data analysis encompassed measurable
resources (quantitative) and the ability to deploy those resources, in addition to assessing the capability to perform
certain tasks deemed critical in the TCL (qualitative). This two-pronged data analysis approach was consistent with
FEMA best assessment practices and allowed us to comprehensively identify and analyze gaps in required response
resources within an all-hazards framework. The compilation of data from each of the jurisdictions reflected the
regional capability; however,we noted where (spatially)shortfalls existed on a jurisdiction-level basis to ensure that
corrective actions could be appropriately targeted.
The resultant plan serves as a long-term guide in directing programmatic efforts, accomplishing necessary goals,
ensuring accountability, and allocating limited resources over the next 5 years.The plan includes a comprehensive
vision statement that articulates the objectives for emergency management and homeland security capabilities, an
assessment of current capabilities, a gap analysis, measurable strategic goals, and a 5-year implementation plan
to achieve the desired strategic goals. In developing the plan, Tetra Tech addressed the region's homeland security
capabilities related to training and exercise programs, critical infrastructure protection programs, intelligence,
information sharing, counter-terrorism programs, and citizen preparedness programs in order to provide future
direction for UASI and SHSGP funding allocations and projects. In addition, we addressed the region's emergency
readiness capabilities for both natural and human-caused disasters.

Scientists and managers of natural resources have recognized an urgent need for improved methods and tools to
enable effective adaptation of management measures in the face of climate change. Tetra Tech developed, with
EPA, NOAA, and TNC, the Adaptation Design Tool for Corals and Climate Adaptation. The Adaptation Design Tool
uses a structured approach to break down an otherwise overwhelming and complex process into tractable steps.
Key tasks included:
• Conducted a comprehensive literature review to develop a compendium of coastal and reef management
actions
• Developed a robust adaptation design framework to enable managers to integrated climate-smart design into
existing and new management measures for watershed and reef environments
• Conducted expert elicitation workshops to provide input on the planning process, climate-smart design
guidance,worksheets, and examples
The tool contains worksheets that guide users through a series of design considerations for adapting their planned
management actions to be more climate-smart given changing environmental stressors. Also provided with other
worksheets is a Compendium for brainstorming new adaptation options in response to climate threats not yet
addressed in the current plan based on a comprehensive review of the best available science. Upon completion of
the Adaptation Design Tool, Tetra Tech was contracted by the University of Guam to conduct a 2-day workshop on
integrating climate-smart design into the Guam Reef Resilience Strategy and by the Nature Conservancy to support
climate-smart design of the South Kohala Conservation Action Plan on the Island of Hawaii. Guidance,on-line self-
paced training, and publications from this work are listed below:

Period of Performance: May 2020—September 2021
Tetra Tech prepared a detailed dune restoration design package, implementation plan, and permits for dune
restoration in the Baldwin littoral cell from Wawau Point to Pala Park. LiDAR surveys were conducted to obtain a
high-resolution topography of the entire study area and to identify dune restoration zones. Flora and faunal surveys
were conducted to identify appropriate coastal vegetation for dune restoration. Conceptual site plans for each zone
were developed and used to gain stakeholder feedback before detailed engineering designs were prepared. Tetra
Tech prepared a comprehensive implementation plan that included phasing and options based on funding. A
complete set of permit applications was prepared making the entire project near "shovel-ready" once funding for
implementation is secured.
The Kapukaulua Advisory Group,consisting of 25 members representative of the community, non-profit, private and
public sectors, was established to provide knowledge, insight, and guidance to support the development of the
Kapukaulua Dune Restoration strategies.The advisory group participated in multiple stakeholder meetings and talk
story sessions. Stakeholder input was used to inform and update the original proposed restoration strategies.
Guiding principles for dune restoration were defined with direct result of stakeholder feedback.

Tetra Tech was contracted by the County of Hawaii to develop the technical foundation to revise the County's
shoreline setback rules to more effectively reduce risk to coastal hazards and climate change. Tetra Tech is
developing a coastal hazards typology island-wide to support the analysis of policy-induced vulnerabilities and
identification data gaps. In addition, a pilot study of using shoreline certification reports to determine shoreline
changes rates has been completed.Tetra Tech will integrate the results of new data collection provided by UH-Hilo
Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Lab in defining shoreline typologies for the island that can be used to develop
shoreline setback rules by typology.
Tetra Tech updated the policy capability assessment and developed a tool
that the County can use to review and update policies and plans and assign Y t
a resilience score.
Case studies of shoreline setback policies and rules from the US and
international jurisdictions have been completed to identify methods of 6 ;
determination and data requirements that may be applicable to Hawaii ),
County.
A draft and final report summarizing the methodology, results,
recommendations, and draft county legislation for shoreline setback rules
from this project will be prepared. The report is also envisioned to serve a 41. 3`'
process guide to enable the County to repeat and scale-up policy integration
for other similar efforts or as new data become available.
