As a ‘ohana, the council is tasked with the delivery of hazard
mitigation and related products and services in the Pacific Islands.
It will also include representatives from both the user and provider
communities (e.g., state/territorial emergency managers and university
researchers).
Recognizing the enmeshed nature of hazard mitigation–related
efforts, regional coordination will be facilitated through the formation
of hui o hana, or working
groups, that encompass clusters of ongoing or proposed activities.
Among others, the council will include a representative from
each of the individual working groups.
