SCR 107 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING EACH BRANCH OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY IN THE STATE TO PROVIDE SHELTERS THAT CAN WITHSTAND HURRICANES WITH WINDS OF OVER TWO HUNDRED MILES-PER-HOUR FOR ALL OF THEIR ACTIVE AND RETIRED PERSONNEL AND FAMILIES LIVING IN THE STATE.

SCR 107 is a non-binding Hawaii Senate resolution requesting that each U.S. military branch operating in the state provide hurricane shelters capable of withstanding winds over 200 miles per hour for all active and retired military personnel and their families. It also asks the military to fund strengthening of military-owned homes to improve hurricane resistance. The resolution cites climate change impacts - including increased hurricane intensity and frequency - as justification, noting Hawaii currently lacks shelters for category 3+ hurricanes and faces insufficient capacity for its population of ~250,000 military-affiliated residents. This resolution does not mandate action but formally requests these measures from the military branches.
