Plan Maintenance
Maintaining and updating our Hazard Mitigation Plan is a critical part of our commitment to the safety and well-being of Maui County. This ongoing process ensures our strategies are effective and evolve to meet changing needs and circumstances.
Lead Responsibility
The Maui County Emergency Management Agency and specifically the Hazard Mitigation Officer have lead responsibility for overseeing the implementation and maintenance of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. This includes coordinating with different county departments, supervising plan implementation, and conducting regular plan reviews and updates.

Progress Reports & Updates
Together, the Hazard Mitigation Officer and the Steering Committee generate progress reports, which track our progress, highlight achievements, and identify areas for improvement. When necessary, they will also lead the process to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan, ensuring it remains relevant and effective in protecting our community.

Evaluating Plan Effectiveness
Annually, the Hazard Mitigation Officer will generate Progress Report that includes progress made toward implementing mitigation actions, hazard occurrences and impacts, and public outreach and engagement. The report will also include how hazard mitigation plan goals were incorporated into other County plans. The Steering Committee will meet to review the Progress Report. This report will be used toward development of the 5-year plan update.
