The Maka`ala Project Waiehu, working in conjunction with Waiehu Kou III, is in the process of drafting a community resilience plan as part of the Resilient Hawaiian Communities (RHC) Initiative. Funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) under the Service First Authority, the primary purpose is to assist our Waiehu community (one of two chosen in Hawaii) to develop resilience plans in partnership with Native Hawaiian, State, and Federal organizations. The RHC Initiative engages the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the DOI Office of Native Hawaiian Relations, National Park Service Pacific Islands Office, Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law at U.H. Mānoa, Solutions Pacific, Hawaiian Island Land Trust, Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and most importantly community members, agencies, organizations, representatives and other interested partners to understand local challenges and needs pertaining to environmental change, adaptation, and resilience.
