Mahalo to everyone across Hawaiʻi who is working to recover from the impacts of this disaster. Our priority is ensuring that families have access to essential resources as they rebuild, including the ability to replace food that was lost during severe weather and prolonged power outages. These SNAP replacement benefits are an important step in supporting community resilience and helping households get back on their feet.

State, county, utility and emergency personnel are working around the clock, but the scale and urgency of these impacts exceed what Hawaiʻi can address alone.
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.
Hawaiʻi is facing this storm while continuing response and recovery operations from several prior disasters.
