Kona Low Storm Disaster Relief — 2026
⚠ Active Storm Alert — April 9, 2026
As the low-pressure storm system passes through the islands, all residents are urged to seek safe shelter and monitor official emergency channels. The Salvation Army is actively responding as a meal service provider at county shelters in coordination with government and community agencies.
Appointments at the Waialua Community Assistance Center scheduled for April 8–10 will be rescheduled. Please contact aloha.hawaii@usw.salvationarmy.org if you need to reschedule.
We are here for our community.
Kona Low Storms 1 and 2 in March brought record-breaking flash flooding and landslides across O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Maui, and Hawai‘i Island — the worst storm system in 20 years. More than 10,000 residents were evacuated, over 774 homes have been confirmed destroyed, damaged, or affected, and the combined storms caused an estimated $1 billion or more in property damage and nearly $9.4 billion in projected agricultural losses.
During the storms, The Salvation Army mobilized immediately, providing hot meals for sheltering residents and emergency responders. As recovery efforts began, we expanded to provide direct financial assistance, clean-up supplies, laundry and car washing support, and emotional and spiritual care — and we will stay for as long as our neighbors need us.
