Hanap\u0113p\u0113-Eleele HHARP was honored as a Hawai\u2019i Hazards Awareness and Resilience Program (HHARP) disaster resilient community by local and state officials during the Kaua\u2019i Community Disaster Preparedness Fair. This fair was held at the Hanap\u0113p\u0113 National Guard Armory on May 18, 2019. Fair organizers are members of a community group named Hanap\u0113p\u0113-Eleele HHARP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hanap\u0113p\u0113-Eleele together with Hawai\u2019i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), Kaua\u2019i County Emergency Management (KEMA), and the Department of Defense worked together for a three-year period to complete HHARP and is the first neighbor island to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn terms of disaster resiliency, this is a great moment for the community,\u201d said Luke Meyers, Executive Officer of HI-EMA. \u201cWith everything that the Garden Island has endured, the formation of Hanap\u0113p\u0113-Eleele HHARP is vital for the outreach and education necessary to keep Kaua\u2019i strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HHARP was developed by HI-EMA in 2013. The goal of the program is to enhance community resilience against hazards. The HHARP method for achieving this goal is taking the communities through a facilitated education and outreach program to promote hazard understanding and awareness and by offering tools and information resources in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HI-EMA continues to introduce and administer HHARP in island communities. Actively engaged communities include Ewa Beach, Hawai\u2019i Kai, K\u0101ne\u2019ohe, Kahalu\u2019u, and Mililani.
