Hotels need to be prepared to self-shelter their guests. As an incentive, <br /> liability coverage for private shelters, as outlined in Hawaii Revised Statutes section 128-19, <br /> is available to those facilities that create suitable guest shelter space. A coordinated program <br /> needs to be in place to assist hotel and resort managers to identify hurricane-resistant space <br /> and to train staff. For cruise ship passengers, the County needs to coordinate with various <br /> hotels or identify public shelter spaces to accommodate these passengers. <br /> 84 Hawaii County Data Book 2000 <br /> 85 Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency <br /> 86 Calculated from[Population]x[People Leaving Their Homes(.90)]x[People Leaving Home That Will Go <br /> to Shelters(.35)]. <br /> 87 Calculated from[Needs]-[Shelter Space]. <br /> 18-4 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
