Chapter 15:Hazard Analysis—Wildfires <br /> 15.3 Probability of Occurrence <br /> From the Hawaii County Drought Plan, for the environment, public health and safety sector, <br /> the 3-month drought interval does not coincide with historical wildfire burn areas. That is, <br /> there appears to be no clear overlap between high drought frequency percentages and past <br /> wildland fire locations. However,the moderate stage for the 12-month interval in conjunction <br /> with the vulnerability analysis for this sector provides the best representation of risk, as areas <br /> of relatively high drought frequency coincide with past wildfire burn areas. <br /> c <br /> - U <br /> L.agend <br /> * Wildfire historic[turn Areas <br /> f <br /> Li ---•-- Communities Al Risk <br /> :: 2F Low Rainfall <br /> Medium Rainfall <br /> High Rainfall <br /> Reservoirs <br /> G Major Roads <br /> State Lard Use Aistricls <br /> ::''':: Agricullure(Al <br /> _ Corservatian(C) <br /> Rural(R) <br /> _I)rhan(LI) <br /> 1 11 2Q 30 40 Miles <br /> Figure 15-3.

The Hawaii County <br /> Fire Department, the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency, the National Park Service, and <br /> the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources were primary partners in developing <br /> plans for Kau and South Kona, Ocean View, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The <br /> CWPP planning boundaries are the same as the wildland-urban interface (WUI) at-risk areas, <br /> which include surrounding lands to ensure adequate protection of WUI areas. <br /> 15-4 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
