Hawaiʻi Wildfire Priorities Survey
Thank you for taking this wildfire survey!

Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, which co-leads the Firewise Communities program for Hawaii, the Pacific Fire Exchange fire science information project, has written the majority of the state's wildfire protection plans, serves as Hawaii's hub of wildfire planning and action, has always been guided by the wildfire-related priorities of our community and agency partners.

At this time, given the increased interest and commitment to wildfire readiness, recovery, and improvements moving forward, we want to hear from you about your wildfire concerns, priorities, and project ideas.

Answering this short survey will help us all develop a short-term project list and a longer-term wildfire vision we can continue to work toward with you and the many partners carrying out important pieces of wildfire preparedness and mitigation work.

The drivers of wildfire are multi-faceted, and so are the solutions. They must all be addressed concurrently to improve wildfire outcomes. After some identifying information, such as your geography, you will notice there are four categories of questions:

- Safe & Effective Wildfire Response

- Land, Water, & Cultural Resources

- People and the Built Environment

- Information, Science, and Technology

Thank you for giving each careful thought.

We also welcome shovel-ready project ideas at the end, and any final thoughts or comments.


Thank you for your thoughtful contributions. We know many are grieving and experiencing shock and loss. We honor that reality. This is not the place for anger or blame. Instead we welcome you into the family of all of us working toward a wildfire-ready, wildfire-adapted, and wildfire-resilient Hawaii. Thank you for your partnership in that effort. We are in this for the long haul.

Mahalo nui loa,

Nani Barretto & Elizabeth Pickett, Co-Executive Directors, and the entire Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization team
