Hawaii SB3059 aims to prevent wildfires by establishing a community risk reduction program. This program, developed and administered by the office of the state fire marshal and county fire departments, emphasizes wildfire risk prevention education, cost-effective hardening of structures, and vegetation management. Prescribed burns, defined as planned fires for fuel reduction, are included as a key part of the program. The office of the state fire marshal must submit annual reports to the legislature detailing the program's progress.
