Notary Public, State of Hawaii My commission expires: Ell EXHIBIT A PROPOSAL ASSISTING HAWAI'I COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 1.0 INTRODUCTION Hawai'i County Civil Defense is required to develop a Mitigation Plan for the Big Island of Hawai'i. The purpose of this proposal is to outline the areas of work we can undertake to assist Hawai'i County Civil Defense with the development of its Mitigation Plan. The proposal draws on the collective experience of a range of specialists in risk assessment, land use planning, central and local agency policy development and implementation, community consultation and emergency management. UH-Manoa and the Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences will perform the work jointly. 2.0 PROPOSED WORK The proposal addresses three key areas of work to be undertaken as follows: 1. Hazard Area Identification 2. Risk and Vulnerability Analysis 3. Mitigation Measures 2.1 Hazard Area Identification It is not uncommon for natural hazard area identification to be revisited over time. As urban development and tourism ventures encroach into previously undeveloped areas, the landscape often undergoes changes that result in changes to the risk posed by natural hazards in an area. Advances in our hazard knowledge as a result of higher resolution data and improvements in modelling techniques also dictate whether or not areas should be included on hazard maps. Thus, natural hazard identification is an ongoing process. Where lifeline or asset data is unavailable we will make the necessary recommendations on how to work without the data or how data might be acquired. This phase will be undertaken in the following three stages: a) "Hazard zoning" vs. "scenario' approaches. 7 There are a number of techniques to employ when looking to both manage natural hazards and educate communities about their hazards. Two key techniques are "hazard zoning" and "scenario" development. For this task we will: i) provide a comparative discussion on the difference between "hazard zoning" vs. "scenario" approaches to the management of natural hazards ii) review current hazard zoning work, alongside previous developed hazard scenarios and identify future directions. Estimated time: 20 hours. b) Hazard ranking relevance and methodology A number of methodologies of varying complexity and effectiveness have been developed for ranking natural hazards. Choosing the most appropriate methodology depends on the extent and quality of hazard information and resources available (determined in Part 1 a) -c) of this proposal). We will present a brief review of the options available for ranking hazards, and in consultation with Hawai'i County staff we will select an appropriate method, and undertake a hazard ranking exercise. Estimated time: 40 hours 2.2 Risk'and Vulnerability Analysis Resilient networks (e.g. pipelines (water, gas, other) and electrical, telecommunication, transportation- and building services) are needed is we are to manage our hazard risks effectively and recover from hazard events promptly. While it is often difficult to collect up-to-date information on each of these, it is important to identify the main arteries or trunk lines of key networks. To do this, each of these data should be digitised off maps and imported to the GIS (digitising is not part of the scope of this proposal). Identifying the risk exposure of networks through network modelling can only be done if the entire grouping of datasets is treated as a system. The models can demonstrate the importance of interdependence as well as the relative weight of each network on the others. An assessment of the time for each service to recover following a potentially significant natural disaster can also be made with this information. Note that the ranking criteria are based on the perception of the tasks groups understanding of community needs. Where possible, the task group will interact with Hawai'i County officials to determine appropriate measures. When performing the risk classification, we may rank: ■ The qualitative measures of the impact of the hazard (e.g. 1=no injuries or loss, 5=death, huge financial loss) ■ The qualitative measure of likelihood of the hazard (e.g. 1= happens all the time, 5=rarely occurs) The impact of the damage can also be rated from 1 to 5 for different times during a disaster (e.g. during, immediately after, the period following, or after the situation returns to normality). The resulting rankings provide a basis for prioritising action where financial resources are a limiting factor and should reflect the needs of the study. These vulnerability charts are then used for identifying the needs for mitigation measures. Again, the result of this work will depend on the quantity and quality of available data. Estimated time: 40 hours. 2.3 Mitigation Measures a) Overall methodology for mitigation (reduction) section of the plan This work will outline the methodology for the mitigation section of the plan. In this context "mitigation" refers to the reduction element of emergency management. Reduction measures are those that prevent further exacerbation' of a hazard (e.g. land use policies which limit development in hazard prone areas) or which limit the genesis of hazard risk (e.g. flood walls). The methodology for this element of the Mitigation Plan would work through two key areas (1) identifying and influencing existing processes (these are generally statutory processes e.g. the Hawaii General Plan, - which contains policies on natural hazards and land use) and (2) identifying appropriate reduction tools and assessment of these (e.g. cost/benefit, community acceptance). Estimated time: 40 hours b) Practical implications of current research to structure a public education and warning system We will review current research findings on public education and warnings and then integrate E 4 • this with a review of current activities in Hawaii. We will discuss the implications and identify future directions for improving public awareness and warning response. Estimated time: 20 hours c) Preparedness: Relationship of the Emergency Operations Plan and this hazard mitigation plan We will review the Emergency Operations Plan to identify and discuss linkages to the proposed mitigation plan.
