Chapter 10:Hazard Analysis—Floods <br /> County), and Hawaii (Hawaii County). Although the effective (i.e., past) FIRMs for each <br /> county have accounted for tsunami hazards, the hurricane flood hazard had not been <br /> previously separately evaluated in a comprehensive study throughout the islands. <br /> Tn general, the hurricane coastal hazard analysis was limited to the southern coast of each <br /> island. This is due to several factors, including the predominance of tsunami hazards and <br /> limited low-lying areas susceptible to hurricane hazards along the north shore of the islands. <br /> Table 5-1 provides a summary of study limits. <br /> Table 10-6.
