MAUI (HawaiiNewsNow) – State and federal officials are expanding in-person recovery assistance for Maui County residents impacted by the recent Kona Low storms.
Gov. Josh Green’s Hawaii Office of Recovery and Resiliency said additional recovery centers will open next week on Maui, Molokai and Hana to help residents and business owners affected by the March storms.
Officials said those impacted may also qualify for the Kona Low Disaster Case Management Program, which will provide up to 40 dedicated case managers to assist residents during recovery efforts.

Residents can sign up for assistance through Aloha United Way 211, online at ready.hawaii.gov, or by emailing KonaLowDCMP@gem.org.
Recovery center staff from FEMA, the U.S. Small Business Administration, Maui County and other agencies will be available to answer questions, provide guidance and help people apply for FEMA Individual Assistance and SBA disaster loans.
Expanded recovery centers will operate May 11 and 12 in Kaunakakai and Hana, with an additional center opening May 11 in Kihei.
Officials also reminded residents of upcoming assistance deadlines, including:
Applicants are encouraged to bring identification, insurance information, proof of occupancy or ownership and documentation of storm-related damage.
