FROM FLOOD RESPONSE → REAL CHANGE

Waialua, Haleʻiwa & Mokulēʻia showed up for each other in the recent Kona Low storms. But we need to ask: how can we prevent this from happening again?

This wasn’t just heavy rain - it was system failure that looked like blocked & overwhelmed waterways, unpermitted evelopment that didn’t account for runoff, unclear lines of responsibility for clearing and maintaining waterways, and delayed action to respond to immediate threat.

FROM FLOOD RESPONSE → REAL CHANGE

We can’t rely on community response alone. We need prevention. We need accountability.

WHAT SHOULD CHANGE?

1. Who should be responsible for maintaining streams & drainage systems?

Private property owners

State / County

Shared responsibility

Not sure

Other:

Clear selection

2. Should the State take a stronger role in managing our water systems to prevent flooding?

Yes

Unsure

Other:

Clear selection

3. New development in flood-prone areas often relies on existing ditches, streams, and drainage systems.
Do you think developers and large agricultural operations should be required to include comprehensive runoff and drainage plans that prevent added flooding impacts on surrounding communities?

Yes — require stronger standards and enforcement

Maybe — depends on the situation

No — current rules are enough
