Governor Green and top officials in Hawaiʻi have emphasized the importance of wildfire preparation and updated mitigation efforts. A proclamation was signed and presented to the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), the Department of Land and Natural Resources, its Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and the HWMO. The proclamation highlights the significance of wildfire mitigation and risk-reduction preparedness, while reaffirming the government's commitment to protecting the state.
As part of a month-long observance, HI-EMA, along with state and county partners and HWMO, will launch a fire mitigation campaign. They will post valuable information and initiatives on their website at www.ready.hawaii.gov. For further details on how individuals can protect their families, homes, yards, and lands from wildfires, they are encouraged to visit the HWMO website at hawaiiwildfire.org.
