RE: S.C.R. No. 3
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.C.R.
No. 3, S.D. 1, entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO CONDUCT TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS,
PARTICULARLY WITHIN LAVA-FLOW HAZARD ZONES 1 AND 2, TO UPDATE
ITS LONG-TERM LAVA-FLOW HAZARD MAP OF HAWAII ISLAND,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the United States
Geological Survey to conduct topographical surveys, particularly
within lava-flow hazard Zones 1 and 2, to its long-term lava-flow
hazard map of Hawaii island.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
Your Committee finds that the United States Geological Survey
Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2193, which shows long-term lava
flow hazards on the island of Hawaii, was last updated in 1992.
Your Committee further finds that an update to that map could help
state and county emergency management agencies, as well as
affected residents and businesses, better understand risks from
volcanic hazards on the island of Hawaii.
