Requires the University of Hawaii to establish and implement a two-year program to generate web-GIS wildfire susceptibility and vulnerability maps for the State.

Maps must identify which communities, landscapes, buildings, and infrastructure are most vulnerable to future wildfires.

Appropriates unspecified funds from the general revenue for fiscal year 2024-2025 to develop the maps; appropriated moneys do not lapse until June 30, 2026.

Takes effect on July 1, 3000 (note: effective date appears to contain a typographical error).
