NEWS RELEASE -- Revises Comment Period to May 19-June 2
Draft Hawai‘i County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Comment Period runs
from May 19-June 2
In October of 2019, the Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency embarked on a planning process
to prepare for and lessen the impacts of specified natural hazards by updating the Hawai‘i
County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Responding to federal mandates in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390),
Hawaii County Civil Defense began to pool resources to create a uniform hazard mitigation
strategy that can be consistently applied to the defined planning area, and used to ensure
eligibility for specified grant funding success.
Hawai‘i County Civil Defense invites residents and other stakeholders to review and comment
on the recently completed draft update to the Hawai‘i County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
(MHMP). The 14-day public review period of the Draft Plan begins on May 19, 2020 and ends
on June 2, 2020 at 5:00 p.m., HST.
