Notes Hawaii has approximately 187,000 wooden homes vulnerable to hurricanes and over 250,000 active and retired military personnel and families with limited safe shelter options during major hurricanes.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the Chiefs of Staff of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as the Commandants of the Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
