Project Manager Position Available
Updated: Jul 30, 2021
The Hanalei Watershed Hui is pleased to announce two part time positions available in Hanalei. These positions will provide program support for the Hanalei to Ha’ena Planning to Action Resilience Project.
Project scope summary:
To inform community disaster recovery, resilience and climate change adaptation planning and action, based on the 2018 flooding events, the Hanalei Watershed Hui partnered with Disaster Resilience LLC to facilitate community workshops, interviews and focus group discussions from October 2018 to June 2019 with the communities of Hanalei to Hā‘ena. This work led to the development of the Resilient Recovery Recommendations Report and the Hanalei to Hā‘ena Community Disaster Resilience Plan Update 2019. The Report and Plan recommendations include the need for ongoing resilience planning critical to improving community disaster recovery, resilience and climate change adaptation.
The communities of Hanalei to Hā’ena will benefit from the implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Plan, the development and testing of evacuation and supply distribution plans, and sharing their community disaster resilience planning experiences with at least one other Kauai community affected by flooding. The program team will create and follow a work plan with clear objectives, outputs and outcomes that will be monitored and adapted as needed on a regular basis. Participation in meetings and trainings will be recorded and an evacuation and supply distribution plan will be produced.
Both positions are contract jobs and do not include any benefits.
Both positions will be working with the Hanalei Planning to Action Resilience Project that is managed by the Hanalei Watershed Hui and facilitated by Disaster Resilience, LLC Executive Director Dr. Sarah Henly-Shepard.
A Project Manager position is expected to begin in October 2021 and a Traditional Knowledge Practitioner position is expected to begin in early 2022.
Mahalo for your interest.
