State of Hawaii Flood Hazard Assessment Tool (FHAT)
This site is an easy-to-use, informational tool to assess preliminary flood hazards at the property level.  GIS data, collected from federal, state and local sources, is integrated into a single, state-wide map.  Special flood hazard area GIS layers collected from FEMA, imagery collected from state sources and parcel and road network layers collected from county sources form the basis of the system.  The FHAT mapping application allows users to search for their parcels either by location, address, or tax map key. The FHAT is built on ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, using the .NET Web Application Development Framework.  It was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and deployed on a Windows 2003 Server using Internet Information Server 6.0.

State of Hawaii Conservation Planner
This site allows agricultural operators in the State of Hawaii to initiate a Conservation Plan for their farming operation.  The application focuses on erosion and sedimentation resource issues and concerns.  The system was developed to allow for additional resource issues and concerns to be added in a seamless way.

The purpose of this tool is to provide mechanisms that will allow agricultural operators to:

  • Provide a description of their operation
  • Gain knowledge and understanding of the regulations and natural resources associated with their property
  • Become familiar with conservation measures and Best Management Practices
  • Select options that can be used together with other resource information by a technical assistant to develop sediment and erosion control plans as part of a comprehensive conservation plan
