*Please note: We are hearing there has been an abundance of hot/prepared food donations to the shelters. While this is greatly appreciated, the shelters do not have proper storage to keep these foods. They are encouraging people to continue donating water and non-perishable food items (as well as toiletries, first aid, etc.). 

Ready.gov has a helpful list of things to do when recovering from a disaster.

FEMA Rumor Control & FAQs

If you, your home, and/or your business were impacted, please FIRST reach out to FEMA. Earlier we sent out information on the SBA disaster loans, but have learned that it is better to apply for FEMA assistance first as it is a grant. They may then refer you to the SBA loans.

To register for FEMA Assistance, you may call 1-800-621-3362 OR 

Visit disasterassistance.gov, enter Maui in the search box, then it will redirect you to a page showing Maui County as a declared county. It may take a few seconds for this page to load. There will be a button under that says "Apply Now".
