New dates and locations added for FEMA and SBA in-person support for recovery from Kona Low storms

Survivors of the March 10–24, 2026 Kona Low flooding in the City and County of Honolulu, as well as Hawaiʻi and Maui counties can receive in-person assistance from FEMA and the US Small Business Administration at Local Recovery Centers operated by state, local and nonprofit partners.

FEMA specialists will be able to help eligible homeowners and renters:

• Apply for FEMA assistance,
• Update existing applications (including after insurance settlements), and
• Understand decision letters, documentation requests, inspections, and appeals.

SBA staff will provide information on how homeowners, renters, businesses, and nonprofits can apply for low-interest disaster loans to help repair and replace disaster-damaged real estate and/or personal property.

Applicants may call SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or to apply online, visit sba.gov/disaster.

Residents do not need an appointment. They are encouraged to bring a photo ID, the address of their damaged primary residence, insurance information, and any documents related to disaster damage and repairs.

Additional pop-up locations and any schedule changes will be updated regularly at Ready.Hawaii.gov and through official state and county emergency management channels.

Impacted residents do not need to visit a recovery center to apply for assistance or check the status of their claim. The fastest way to apply or update an application is by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362. 

When calling; if you use a video relay service, captioned telephone service or others, you can give FEMA the number for that service. Helpline operators are available seven days a week, 24 hours per day, and they speak many languages. For language services press 2 for Spanish and 3 for other languages.

The deadline to apply for federal assistance is June 14, 2026.
