RE: H.C.R. No. 3
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and
Military Affairs and Water and Land, to which was referred H.C.R.
No. 3 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING EACH COUNTY TO ESTABLISH
AN EMERGENCY ZONING CODE FOR POST-DISASTER USE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge each county
to establish an emergency zoning code for post-disaster use.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
Your Committees find that the August 2023 Maui wildfires
further exacerbated the State's existing severe housing shortage.
Your Committees further find that reportedly damaging over three
thousand properties, the wildfires had a large impact on rental
housing and housing for low-income families and individuals. As
climate change continues to impact the frequency and severity of
disasters, your Committees conclude that it is imperative for each
county to establish an emergency zoning code that would allow for
the siting of temporary shelters such as trailers, recreational
vehicles, and prefab housing to be used immediately following a
disaster.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and Military
