Abstract:
The state of Hawaii faces numerous challenges that threaten its survival. Tsunamis, weather-induced mud-slides, and global climate change impacts are just a few of the threats that could cripple Hawaii. The state is increasingly vulnerable because of aging infrastructure and the fact that its economy is highly dependent on tourism and construction, military, or government projects. To improve Hawaii's resilience, this effort proposes steps that will enable analytics based decision support to combat the major threats. In this paper, we describe a technology roadmap that will guide Hawaii to pioneer a sound resiliency approach, facilitate implementation of a resiliency plan, develop the required resiliency technologies, deploy the resiliency technology and improve Hawaii's infrastructure, and foster growth of a technology-based resiliency industry that will sustain Hawaii's resilience. As a successful pathfinder for resiliency, Hawaii will be positioned to lead the way for many other cities, states, nations, and even regions of the world that face similar threats.
