Members of the public can help build a safer Hawai‘i by providing input on the State Hazard Mitigation Plan – but they only have until May 9 to do so.

The Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency has been collecting public input on the new plan since December, including a series of meetings across the state starting last month.
