As part of your reconsideration vote you requested DPW to hold public workshops in Kona and Hilo. Many of the stakeholders attended the Hilo workshop. The Aupuni meeting room was full of people with comments and questions, many of the questions going unanswered as the meeting ended. Towards the end of the meeting when it became obvious that the wording in Bill 270 could be improved and clarified Warren Lee stated he would consider proposed amendments. Subsequently representatives of the stakeholders requested a meeting with Warren Lee to discuss specific amendments. The Agenda for that meeting and the proposed amendments are attached. As you can see from the Agenda, number 1 was a question to DPW if they intended to propose any amendments. Warren Lee said they did not and we have heard of none being proposed by DPW to date. We urge you to review these clarifying cost saving proposed amendments and to postpone Bill 270 so that those amendments you support can be incorporated in Bill 270.

BILL 270 CHAPTER 5 BUILDING - TABLE OF CONTENTS • Approved by the Governor on MAY 2 I 2007 THE SENATE 1WENTY-FOURTH LEGISLATURE. 2007 STATE OF HAWAII ACT 0 8 2 S.B. NO. H.D. 1 C.D. 1 A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BUILDING CODES. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII: 1 SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the State has 2 traditionally allowed the individual counties to establish their 3 own building codes. The counties have adopted various portions 4 of the Uniform Building Code, but the code differs from county 5 to county. The status of fragmented building requirements in 6 Hawaii is of serious concern to those involved in building 7 ownership, design, construction, and insurance. Over forty states have adopted some form of a statewide building code. 9 The adoption of a uniform set of statewide building codes 10 applicable to one and two family dwellings, all other 11 residential uses, and commercial and industrial buildings, and state buildings would make it possible for building owners, 13 designers, contractors, and code enforcers within the State to 14 apply consistent standards. The International Building Code is 15 currently being considered for adoption by all counties. The 16 health and safety considerations related to the codes are of 2007-2935 SB795 CD1 SMA-2 doc 11111111111161111111111ffillitlifill 10 11 12 13 14 Page 8 1 2 3 4 5 • • S.B.

Dominic Yagong, Chairman Hawaii County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Re: Bill No. 270 Draft 3 Aloha Chairman Yagong and Members; Poi 1 This testimony concerns the Council's proposal in Bill No. 270 Draft 3 to revise Chapter 5 of the Hawaii County Code as it pertains to "safe rooms" and other amendments designed to protect structures on Hawaii Island from hurricanes. This proposal assumes that hurricanes are a threat to this island as a whole - with little regard to the probability and intensity of a hurricane. What needs to be done first is a risk assessment based on a scientific mapping of this island. Such a mapping would not only reveal the true impact of hurricanes here, but all natural disasters. Nine years ago, Representative Ito and I met with various University of Hawaii Professors specializing in relevant subject matters such as meteorology and geology. Also at the meeting were representatives from the real estate industry, the insurance industry and the financial industry. The Professors convinced us that the State of Hawaii should map all the natural disasters that hit Hawaii. These maps would detail each type of disaster's frequency and intensity. These maps and the hard scientific data gathered to create them could be used in drafting amendments to the building codes so that they are based on risk. This information can also be used for planning disaster shelters, determining appropriate insurance rates, informing the financial industry of the risk that underlies their lending practices, and other land use and development issues. This approach also makes economical sense. By consulting such a map, every person in this state would know which natural disaster they are most at risk of exposure. Attached to this testimony is a copy of a power -point presentation about this meeting. It explains the need to map this state as well as other information about natural disasters. As explained in the presentation "[tjhe probable paths, frequency and intensity of hurricanes can be mapped but has never been done in Hawaii, yet it should be." Comm. No. /2.8. Ref. To: PTA$ Calm ti Ref. Date JUL 2 2 vit I have also attached another document - a web article prepared by a University of Hawaii professor in Meteorology which explicitly states that "Hurricanes are relatively rare events in the Hawaiian Islands." I ask that you take a careful look at Figure 2 (also attached separately after the article). ,2 e As you can see, this island does not have a history of being directly impacted by hurricanes. Our risk is from coastal impacts. It makes no sense to require hurricane hardening at Volcano, which is 30 miles inland and at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Residents of Volcano are at risk from earthquakes, lava, and most certainly VOG. Instead of a "safe room" designed to withstand a Hurricane where it is unlikely to occur, why not require "safe room" for severely VOG- impacted areas? What this state and county needs is a law to establish a "Natural Disaster Preparedness Commission." The commission can do this mapping so that we can prepare this state for natural disasters before they happen. The approach should not be taken with a civil 'defense' mind -set on how to respond. We must adopt a philosophy of preparedness so that we are proactive in avoiding unnecessary risks. We need to be fully prepared for a natural disaster when — not if — but when it comes. This concept has passed the State House for the last eight sessions - only to die in the Senate due to opposition from State Department of Civil Defense. Hawaii is the only state impacted by all natural disasters and Hawaii Island has them all. This County Council could lead the rest of the State by being the first island to have all natural disasters mapped. You already have a head start. There are lava zones, earthquake zones, tsunami zones and flood zones. They need only be updated and in turn, they can contribute to the development of a comprehensive map showing potential hurricane zones and the island's history of coastal impacts. All of these zones can be shown on one map. With such mapping, the Council can make more informed decisions on land use; what type and at which location to construct natural disaster shelters; and other measures relating to natural disasters. By following Hawaii County's lead, the other counties can also develop similar mapping and planning strategies. Hopefully, the state will then follow the counties so that we can all have a plan to prepare for natural disasters, rather than be prepared to respond to a natural disaster — before it is too late. I have also attached a copy of the Hawaii Ocean View Estates (HOVE) Natural Disaster Plan. I do not know if this well- conceived plan is still in effect. Nevertheless, every community should have a plan similar to the one developed by HOVE. I am available to answer question and thank you for your time. Sincerely, Robert N. Herkes.

Ito recently issued a memorandum on June 8. 2011 notifying homeowner insurers that they must submit their filings for the Insurance Division's review and approval. "After reviewing the most recent data. I concluded that rates should not be this high for homeowners who are struggling during these tough economic times." Ito said. We are looking out for homeowners to ensure they are being treated fairly. By implementing rate reductions. the insurance Division seeks to help homeowners keep more money that is theirs and in turn. this will contribute in turning Hawari's economy around In reviewing the latest data from the National Association of insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), to found that Hewer i's homeowner insurance rates are being charged at excessive levels: ;to found that for all Hewer i insurers, the losses incurred are significantly below the national average and far below the levels necessary for insurers to earn reasonable rates of return. By law-, homeowner insurers have until October 6. 2011. to make their new filings or risk the possibility of sanctions. :(MORE) The memorandum does not apply to hurricane rates which is a separate line of insurance.
