HomeMy WebLinkAboutSurveyObjectives are:
• Short- or long-term aims that, when combined, form a strategy or a course of action to meet a
goal.
• More specific than goals, but less specific than actions (projects).
Once objectives have been established, the MHMP Working Group will use them to define and
prioritize actions. We will strive to identify stand-alone objectives that meet multiple goals, supporting
the linear concept of purpose statement, goals, objectives and actions that all directly support each
other.
The sample objectives below are adapted from mitigation plans in other jurisdictions, other best
practice objectives and an identified objective from the December Working Group Meeting. You will
notice that many of these objectives overlap, use similar terms, and cover similar topics.
Please select objectives by associating one or more goals with the desired objective. If you don't
associate any goals with an objective, that indicates that you don't recommend that objective. You will
also have the opportunity to suggest different objectives at the end of the exercise.
HAWAII COUNTY HMP 2020 GOALS:
1. Utilize state-of-the-art methods and technologies as well as local knowledge to identify hazards,
risks, and capabilities.
2. Ensure that all critical facilities and infrastructure withstand hazard incidents and have
contingency plans to restore services quickly.
3. Protect natural and cultural resources to the extent practicable that mitigate hazards.
4. Promote actions that support land use planning and regulations designed to ensure long-term
resiliency.
5. Promote community risk reduction and preparedness through public education, training and
awareness.
6. Improve capabilities to implement response protocols and continuity of operations and services.
7. Strengthen partnerships and leverage existing resources and capabilities to identify, assess, and
reduce the impact of hazards.
NOTES AND REMINDERS:
You may want to print off the goals, so that you can refer to them while completing the exercise. It will
likely be easier to refer to a hard copy.
Please remember that this is simply a prioritization exercise. We will discuss the results of this
exercise at the next Working Group meeting.
