HI HR194

Urges the United States Congress to work with stakeholders and nongovernmental organizations to create a plan fortifying Hawaii's critical infrastructure against electromagnetic pulse attacks.

Identifies concern that high-altitude balloons from foreign governments could deliver weaponized electromagnetic pulse payloads capable of disabling Hawaii's local power grid.

Notes that Alaska is the only state that has prepared by backing up its bulk power supply, leaving Hawaii vulnerable due to its geographical location and lack of nearby backup power generators.

References a 2019 Executive Order that tasked the Department of Homeland Security with developing best practices for defending critical infrastructure from electromagnetic pulse attacks.

Requires certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the U.S. Congress, Secretary of Defense, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, Office of the Governor, and Hawaii State Legislature.
