  • Nanakuli Regional Plan (July 2018)
    Nānākuli Regional Plan 2018 Executive Summary Regional plans build a sense of community and capacity, stimulate partnerships for development and improvements, and put homestead lessees in the “driver’s seat.” The Hawaiian Homes Commission’s approval of 22 Regional Plans across the State means that all homestead communities have the same opportunity. The 22 regional plans provide a platform for beneficiaries to talk as neighbors and ‘ohana about their common issues and concerns. The regional plans empower beneficiaries with a recurring opportunity, to convene as neighbors and friends in order to identify and solve their own problems. Regional plans tap the ingenuity and ensure that homestead lessees are an integral part of the solution. Working with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) Planning Office staff and consultants, the plan identifies priority projects to respond to issues and areas of concern within existing and planned homestead areas. The plan may focus on a particular homestead community or several homestead communities in the region. At a minimum, the regional plan documents current conditions and trends and identifies a prioritized list of projects important to the community and the department. Vision. The vision provides a unified direction for homestead, Departmental and Commission actions in Nānākuli, and is as follows: The Nānākuli Homesteads are communities united in a vision for the prosperity of our keiki, ʻōpio, mākua, kūpuna, and ʻohana. With education, collaboration, and pono community-based economic development, we can ensure the safety, cultural abundance, and self-determination of all who call this community home. Planning Area. The Nānākuli Planning Area (approximately 2,311 acres) is located in both the ahupuaʻa of Nānākuli and the ahupuaʻa of Waiʻanae, Waiʻanae District, City & County of Honolulu, island of Oʻahu.

It is capable of producing megathrust earthquakes over 9.3 magnitude and creating a tsunami possibly over 100 feet. Oregon is working to becoming more pre- pared for the inevitable temblor and ensuing tsunami. One of the best ways to survive is to be able to get out of the tsunami inundation zone quickly. In order to do this, it is imperative that escape routes are clearly marked no matter the time of day or weather conditions. As Oregon has been a leader in tsunami hazard mitigation, we are continuing this tradition with this “Up and Out” wayfinding project. The Oregon Office of Emergency Management is very happy to partner with the Portland Urban Architecture Research Laboratory to seek creative solutions that will save lives during a tsunami event.
