101. Kona Low Community Response

After the back-to-back Kona low storms in March brought catastrophic flooding to multiple islands, our communities immediately leapt into action to support those most impacted. Over the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed grassroots community resource hubs, donation drives, supply deliveries, and boots-on-the ground volunteer work happening in a big way.

In this episode, we have two short updates from hubs and organizers across our network:

• Hui Aloha ʻĀina o Koʻolaupoko has been running a community donation hub in Koʻolaupoko on the windward side of Oʻahu. They can be contacted at haakoolaupoko@pm.me.
• The Hawaiʻi Workerʻs Center has been carrying out worker wellness checks in impacted areas and organizes a Kōkua Fund, which offers one-time support for workers impacted by the Kona low storms. To reach out for the Kōkua Fund, you can email contact@hawaiiworkerscenter.org or call 808-743-1031.
