Josh Green: “Hawaiʻi is facing this storm while continuing response and recovery operations from several prior disasters.”

Four major disasters in six months have caused extraordinary damage across our state and made clear that recovery and resilience must move forward together.

The mayors are all working together and supporting one another and we’re going to continue doing everything we can to help people recover.

“We will never forget.

Protecting the people of Hawaiʻi is our highest priority and this approval gives our state and counties the additional federal support needed to act before conditions deteriorate.
