State and County lawmakers were recently informed of an urgent need for all homeowners who suffered damage during the severe flooding last month on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i to report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and so all homeowners can qualify for the Individual Assistance Program.
A minimum of 173 homeowners must report damages by 4 p.m. Friday, May 18 or Hawai‘i will lose out on being eligible for grants and loans totaling millions of dollars. So far, 115 homes have been reported damaged.
If your home was damaged by flooding and you did not report it to FEMA or the Red Cross, go to www.honolulu.gov/dem or call 723-8960 before the deadline.
