Wildfire Prepared Fund / Wildfire Prepared Program
State of Hawaiʻi, administered by EMNRD as described in the Public Utilities Commission study · State program
A state wildfire preparedness funding mechanism has been described as the Wildfire Prepared Fund, with grants to support structure hardening, defensible space creation, and wildfire preparedness certification. The source is a state study describing the program, not a homeowner application page, so the exact homeowner-facing process is unclear.
