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.

Senate Resolution 88 requests that each U.S. military branch in Hawaii provide shelters capable of withstanding hurricane winds over 200 miles per hour for all active and retired military personnel and their families living in the state. It also asks the military to fund the strengthening of homes owned by military personnel to make them resistant to major hurricanes. This resolution directly affects approximately 250,000 military members and their families, who currently lack safe shelter options during extreme storms. The request is based on Hawaii's increasing hurricane risks due to climate change, as detailed in the resolution's preamble. Note: This is a non-binding resolution, meaning it urges action but does not require the military to comply.
