"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE COUNTY OF MAUI, IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE MAUI EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, HAWAII EMERGENCY

practical emergency response training that incorporates both
emergency personnel and members of the community. Your Committees
recognize that several municipalities in the United States and
other jurisdictions have implemented successful community-based
disaster drills and response programs. This measure addresses the
critical need for comprehensive and community-involved emergency
preparedness measures and will help create a resilient and well-
informed population that is better equipped to respond effectively
when natural disasters occur.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs and Public
Safety and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your
Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 67 and
recommend its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
