What happened
President Donald Trump approved a pre-landfall emergency declaration for Hawaii, which covers Maui County, Kauai County, and the City and County of Honolulu. This action authorized federal assistance for emergency protective measures, with the federal government providing a 75% cost share. The declaration was issued as Hurricane Nolo approached the state.
Why it matters
The declaration was issued due to the threat of dangerous flooding, mudslides, damaging waves, and disruptions to critical infrastructure in the region. Federal assistance is being mobilized to help the public protect their safety and properties in anticipation of the catastrophic weather conditions.
An emergency declaration was approved for the state of Hawaii, and a community relief hub was established for affected residents.
