Acting Mayor Reiko Matsuyama signed an emergency proclamation on April 12, 2024, for the County of Kaua‘i due to a rain event on April 11 and April 12, 2024.
The disaster emergency relief period shall now continue until terminated 60 days after April 12, 2024, or by a separate proclamation – whichever comes first.
The purpose of the emergency proclamation is to provide continued relief for disaster damages, losses, and suffering, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of Kaua‘i residents and visitors.
An emergency proclamation has also been requested from State of Hawai‘i Governor Josh Green and an announcement will be made when an update is available.
Residents are advised to start documenting and taking photos of damages on their property. More information on damage assessments will be announced.
A copy of the County of Kaua‘i’s emergency proclamation will be available at www.kauai.gov/kema, later today.
