What happened
The Federal Emergency Management Agency denied individual assistance to residents impacted by Hurricane Lala and Hurricane Lowell. Hurricane Lala struck Hawaii Island in August, impacting 267 homes, 29 of which were destroyed. Hurricane Lowell hit Kauai in September, impacting 247 homes, including 10 destroyed. Officials stated that the damage did not exceed the capacity to recover at the local or state level.
Why it matters
The denial of individual aid leaves residents with limited resources to help them recover, particularly if they are underinsured or uninsured. This situation increases the financial strain on local recovery efforts in the affected areas.
