Josh Green: “Access to capital. Venture capital. Whatever it is in regards to funding that would be great for a female entrepreneur.”

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.

We cannot wait for every damaged road, utility pole, harbor and public facility to be assigned a dollar value before asking the federal government to act.

Governor Josh Green is actively coordinating state, federal and county recovery efforts to ensure rapid and efficient response, including infrastructure repair, emergency support, financial relief and long-term resilience planning.

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.
