FEMA Announces Funding for Nonprofits Affected by Kona Low Flooding in Hawaii
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced the availability of funding to assist private nonprofits in recovering from the damage caused by the Kona low floods that occurred from March 10 to 24. This funding is part of FEMA's Public Assistance program and is available to eligible nonprofits, including houses of worship, in Honolulu, Maui, and Hawaii counties. The funds can be used to reimburse costs related to emergency protective measures, debris removal, and the restoration of disaster-damaged roads, bridges, and public facilities. Additionally, FEMA's Individual Assistance program is available to residents of Honolulu, Hawaii Island, and Maui County who were affected by the floods. This program aims to help individuals and households with basic, disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other sources. The deadline for nonprofits to file a request for public assistance is approaching, and eligible residents have until June 14 to apply for individual assistance.
