The Kaua‘i Emergency Operations Center remains partially activated after last week’s flooding events, as county and state officials continue to address various recovery efforts islandwide.
On Tuesday, county officials, with assistance from the National Guard and volunteers from the American Red Cross, continued damage assessments on the island. (See below for more information.)
In addition, the Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency is working with the local Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster.
“Leveraging community-based volunteer organizations has proven highly effective in providing services to those affected by this and all of our prior disasters,” a county official said Tuesday.
The Kaua‘i County Farm Services Agency is advising farmers, ranchers and agriculture producers to document damages from the recent flooding event. According to FSA officials, you must notify the FSA within 72 hours of a crop loss becoming apparent for hand-harvested crops and certain perishable crops.
If you sustained any farm or crop damage during the recent rainstorm, you may contact the Kaua‘i County Farm Services Agency Office at 808-245-9014 extension 2 as soon as possible.
