*County of Kaua‘i to update Multi-hazard Mitigation and Resilience Plan*

LĪHU‘E – The County of Kaua‘i is updating its Multi-Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Plan.

During this process, County staff, along with community organizations and State colleagues, will review and update the plan elements, including the impacts of natural hazards affecting Kaua‘i, the county's capability to mitigate those risks, and the strategy for reducing vulnerabilities and increasing resiliency to natural disasters.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires local jurisdictions to review and update their plans at least every five years to remain eligible for a range of federal programs, including FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant program.

The planning process will include a community open house and a feedback survey anticipated for late summer with final plan approval anticipated for the spring of 2026.

The County will use the following website to provide updates throughout the planning process for the 2026 Multi-Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Plan Update. A copy of the 2021 Plan and additional information are currently available on this website:
