Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and
Military Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 4O entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE HAWAII
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY ESTABLISH A TWO—YEAR TASK FORCE
TO ADDRESS KEY FINDINGS VALIDATED BY THE 2022 RESILIENCY
ASSESSMENT REPORT OF THE HAWAII MARITIME TRANSPORTATION
REGIONAL RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM PROJECT AND PLAN
RESILIENCY ENHANCEMENTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request that the
Hawaii Emergency Management Agency establish a two—year task force
to address key findings validated by the 2022 Resiliency
Assessment report of the Hawaii Maritime Transportation Resiliency
Assessment Program Project and plan resiliency enhancements.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Transportation; Hawai‘i Emergency Management
Agency; and Matson Navigation Company, Inc.
Your Committee finds that Hawaii's maritime transportation
system is critical to the State's supply chains, with the port of
Honolulu being a vital component of the maritime transportation
system. Approximately eighty percent of all inbound products move

shortages and cascading consequences for the State. Your
Committee further finds that the Regional Resiliency Assessment
Program's Resiliency Assessment report found that Hawaii will need
to update and create a robust alternative port and Reverse Hub and
Spoke plan and consider significant investments in resiliency—
related infrastructure upgrades across the State. Your Committee
believes that addressing the key findings in the Resiliency
Assessment report and planning resiliency enhancements will better
inform the State and its key maritime stakeholders regarding
alternate emergency maritime options. This measure will assist in
the creation of more robust plans to ensure the quality of
critical infrastructure and allow the State to better prepare for,
respond to, and recover from a catastrophic incident affecting
maritime transportation systems.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and
consistency.
