This is the directory of the State of Hawaii emergency management documents, available online at 8:25 AM EST. Public access to the documents has been withdrawn from the Hawaii website, probably in response to a New York Times report today on a document describing 15 scenarios for US homeland attacks, which appears to be this one:

A DHS letter of February 11, 2005 from Corey Gruber, Director, Office for Policy, Initiatives and Analysis:
[Excerpt]Dear Colleague:
As we continue the Capabilities-Based Planning (CBP) process being implemented under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8: National Preparedness (HSPD-8), the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness (SLGCP) is pleased to release the Target Capabilities List: Version 1 (TCL). The TCL was developed with input from stakeholders at all levels of government and across all disciplines. It is an initial step in defining the capabilities needed to perform critical tasks required to prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from all hazard incidents of national significance. The TCL is the third in a series of capabilities-based planning tools designed to enhance national preparedness. A brief summary of the tools are provided below.
National Planning Scenarios. Developed under the leadership of the Homeland Security Council, the 15 National Planning Scenarios provide parameters regarding the nature, scale, and complexity of incidents of national significance which include both terrorism and natural disasters. They represent a range of potential incidents, rather than every possible threat or hazard. The scenarios provide the basis to define prevention, protection, response and recovery tasks that need to be performed, as well as the capabilities required to perform them. Developing the national capacity to prevent, protect against, respond to, or recover from these challenges will create the agility and flexibility required to meet a wide range of threats and hazards.
Universal Task List. The UTL identifies the tasks that need to be performed by all levels of government and a variety of disciplines to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, natural disaster, and other emergencies. Version two of the UTL, released December 17, 2004, contains a comprehensive library of tasks for all levels of government from the national strategic to the incident level.
Target Capabilities List. Version one of the Target Capabilities List (TCL) describes 36 capabilities required to perform almost 200 critical tasks. Critical tasks are defined as those tasks that must be performed during a major event to prevent occurrence, reduce loss of life or serious injuries, mitigate significant property damage, are essential to the success of a homeland security mission, and require coordination among a combination of Federal, State, local and tribal entities. The target capabilities are combinations of resources that provide the means to achieve a measurable outcome resulting from performance of one or more critical tasks, under specified conditions and performance standards. A capability may be delivered with any combination of properly planned, organized, equipped, trained, and exercised personnel that achieve the expected outcome.
