Questions for webinar workshop on 9/05/2024:
On page 295 of GP2045, the Wildfire Risk Area Map indicates a HIGH RISK RATING for the area along the
coastline between Kailua Kona town and Keauhou. I happen to live in this area.
1)When was this rating made? Was it made before the Lahaina fire? Or after the Lahaina fire?
2)What criteria did you use to determine that this area was high risk for wildfires? In the 36 plus years that I have
lived in this area, I only know of a few house fires and about less than 5 brush fires but it definitely had a lot fewer
fires and way less threatening fires than Waikoloa and yet Waikoloa is rated as medium risk? How did that happen?
3) Is a transportation corridor(Alii Highway) still planned for this area?
4) Have you notified residents and homeowners in this area that they now live in a high risk area for wildfires?
5) How will this affect my house insurance?
