Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 52 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE TO INCLUDE IN ITS LIST OF FIRST RESPONDERS A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS CONTRACTED TO IMMEDIATELY PROVIDE FOOD, BEVERAGES, AND ICE TO CITIZENS DURING A NATURAL DISASTER,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA) to develop a list of first responders, including a network of organizations contracted to immediately provide food, beverages, and ice to citizens during a natural disaster. This measure also requests that HIEMA submit its findings and recommendations, together with the list of organizations and any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2019.

The Disability and Communication Access Board supported this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 52 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
