Purpose

Quality defensible environmental data are necessary for environmental and human health decision-making. Comprehensive data management and communication systems are needed to share these data with the public, as well as federal, State and local partners.

Project Description

This project will include the following key activities:

Monitor, measure and report potentially harmful substances in the environment: Air, Ash and Debris, Beach Sand, Coastal Sediment, Coastal Waters, West Maui Temporary Debris Storage (TDS) Site, and County Parks’ Soil Testing and other facilities and locations as requested and relevant to recovery
Create and maintain a Maui Environmental Data Portal to present, interpret and explain monitoring data in lay terms using narrative and data visualization tools. Suitable for adaptation to future incidents
Prepare Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring and Sampling Plan

Interdependencies and Roadblocks

Challenges include having sufficient resources to continue monitoring activities (field sampling and analysis), participation of partner agencies and organization in the provision of data, IT system requirements, and data governance and quality will require regular monitoring.

The project will require ongoing reviews and inputs from Environmental Management Division (EMD) and the Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER) Office staff for planning of monitoring activities and review and reporting of analytical data. It will also require Hawaiʻi Department of Health Communications Office reviews and IT teams support for the webpage to ensure ongoing compliance with Hawaiʻi Office of Enterprise Technology Services requirements.
