House of Representatives Wildfire Prevention Working Group draft report – comments due 24 hrs before meeting 11/17/23

The Hawai`i House of Representatives Wildfire Prevention Working Group was formed to identify the causes of wildfires and preventative action that may be taken to reduce the risk of wildfires throughout the state, and to prepare recommendations for appropriate legislative action.

Their work is critical in guiding us towards a more wildfire resilient future. They are calling for public comment on their draft report below:
