Review
LĪHU‘E – The Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency (KEMA) invites residents of Kaua‘i County
to review and comment on the public draft of the Kaua‘i Multi-Hazard Mitigation & Resilience Plan.
In May of 2020, KEMA embarked on a planning process to prepare for and lessen the impacts of
specified natural hazards by updating the Kaua‘i Multi-Hazard Mitigation & Resilience Plan. Responding
to federal mandates in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390), KEMA 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.
The 30-day public review period of the Draft Plan begins on January 4, 2021 and ends on
February 2, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. You can access a copy of the Draft Plan at: http://kauai.gov/Mitigation and
clicking on the 2020 Update.
KEMA will host two brief, live virtual presentations regarding the Draft Plan and opportunities to
receive public comment during the public comment period at the following virtual meetings on Zoom:
