Maui Residents Encouraged to Participate in Disaster Preparedness Survey
WAILUKU, Maui , Hawaii -The County of Maui Civil Defense Agency announced today
that it is requesting the public to participate in the Maui Resident Disaster
Preparedness Survey, which will be available until April 2010. The brief survey
can be completed online and is found both on the County's homepage www.mauicounty.gov,
and in the website's Civil Defense section (located under the "Departments"
header).
Results of the survey and community recommendations on disaster preparation
will help the County improve their planning and preparedness strategy as well
as play a role in seeking federal funding for mitigation actions.
In order to respond to these disasters, the County’s Hazard Mitigation
Plan has two main objectives: to prevent people and structures from harm and
destruction and to reduce or mitigate the losses and disruption of disaster
response and recovery.
The survey is intended to augment the County’s scientific and engineering
research on natural hazards with first-hand knowledge from members of the community.
