Brown and Caldwell (BC)is providing engineering services to support the University of Hawaii (UH)to conduct a Military Installation Resilience Review(MIRR)focused on Ko`olaupoko district, located on 0`ahu's southeastern shore.The project overall objective is to identify climate related threats and hazards to the community surrounding Kaneohe military base and to present recommendations that enhance resilience and adaption capacity of vulnerable resources within the project study area. Hawaii's unique geographic location makes the islands particularly susceptible to a myriad of climate change impacts.Sea level rise and attendant local erosion and flooding, extreme heat, altered precipitation patterns, and growing wildfire are evident and will become more prevalent in the future, placing an undue burden on coastal communities and resources across the State. In order to avoid widespread environmental catastrophe,development needs to prioritize sustainability and increasing climate resilience.The study will culminate with the three regional implementation strategies identified, mapped,which will be considered "pilot projects".These"pilot projects" are defined as"small-scale" implementation of an idea that proves viable and enables stakeholders to manage risk. The pilot project descriptions will also identify any deficiencies that may escalate and require further resources,time,and effort(e.g., master planning effort). Each pilot project will recommend a series of mitigation measures to better inform efforts and benefit surrounding communities.
