Date Published: June 5, 2025
The Maui Wildfires Mitigation Assessment Team Compendium Report (P-2425) provides comprehensive guidance on designing new residential structures to mitigate wildfire risks, especially for one- and two-family dwellings. It emphasizes fire safety recommendations for design professionals to reduce ignition likelihood and structure-to-structure fire spread. The report advocates for best practices during the design phase to enhance fire resistance in densely developed neighborhoods in Maui, while also addressing multi-hazard considerations due to Maui's exposure to high winds, flooding, tsunamis, and seismic events.
