  • Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HEMA) and Department of Transportation Harbors Division are requested to establish a two-year task force to address key findings from the July 2022 Resiliency Assessment report on Hawaii's maritime transportation system.

  • Task force composition includes the HEMA Administrator (chairperson), Deputy Director of Transportation (Harbors Division), Executive Director of Hawaii Harbors Users Group, and other representatives as needed.

  • Preliminary report with findings and recommendations due to the Legislature no later than December 1, 2023; final report due no later than December 1, 2024.

  • Resolution addresses Hawaii's critical dependence on the Port of Honolulu, through which approximately 80 percent of inbound products transit, and the need to plan for extended port disruptions affecting the state and regional supply chains.
