2. MAJOR CHANGES AND/OR VARIANCES IN OPERATIONS BUDGET
KEMA staffing remains the same with four (4) County-funded positions, and two (2) grant-
funded positions. Position 2504 Grant Coordinator has been reclassified to Emergency
Management Senior Staff Officer. Position 2502 has been reclassified from Public Safety
Services Secretary to Emergency Management Staff Officer. Position 9021 (fully funded by
grant) has been reclassified from Emergency Management Staff Officer to Program Support
Technician II.
Repair & Maintenance Equipment (43-02) is has increased due to the addition of upgrades
required for the County's 800 MHz radio system. These include electrical upgrades that are
required at the Hanalei Fire & Police station, as well as the addition of the annual
maintenance fees for the encryption of the system. Also, the system 's current software is no
longer supported by Motorola and is requiring an upgrade.
3. OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES
The main operational concern continues to be staffing, for both the Emergency Management
and Administrative Branch, as well as the Telecommunications Branch. With the ongoing
recovery efforts of the April 2018 flooding, as well as response to the last hurricane season,
daily work and projects have experienced increased challenges and delays.
4. TOP 3 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FROM FY 2019
Hurricane Lane -As Hurricane Lane approached the State of Hawaii, KEMA EOC was
activated to Level 3, Enhanced Steady State for 8 days, followed by Level 2, Partial
Activation over two days as a result of two separate Flash Flood Warnings.
Impacts from the Flash Flood Events related to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lane resulted in a
presidentially declared disaster, DR-4395. As many of the areas were still in recovery after
the April 2018 Severe Flooding event, DR-4365, they suffered further damage.
February Winter Storm -In preparation for an unprecedented winter storm, KEMA EOC
was activated to Level 3, Enhanced Steady State for 3 days, followed by Level 2 , Partial
Activation for one day for monitoring and response. Coastal inundation was observed
across the north shore , and the high winds caused downed trees and utility lines , along with
widespread power outages.
EOC Audio Visual Upgrades -Utilizing Homeland Security Grant Funding, KEMA was
able to upgrade the audio visual system in the EOC. The former three 10-foot rear
projection screens were replaced by an eighteen screen video wall. Also included was new
media equipment in the various breakout rooms, as well as new video teleconferencing
equipment. This portion of the project cost $394,229.82.
Further enhancements to the EOC including new computers and printers are still being
procured and funded by the Homeland Security Grant.
