In response to the worst flooding the Hawaiian Islands have seen in two decades, local leaders and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are working with the community to meet immediate needs and to begin cleanup efforts. Church parking lots are being used to distribute water, food, and fuel.
O’ahu North Shore, Maui, and Molokai are the most severely impacted. Hundreds of homes have been significantly damaged or destroyed.
“Following historic flooding across the North Shore of O’ahu, we have witnessed a powerful outpouring of unity, service, and compassion,” said Steven Nawahine, a local leader of the Church in Laie. “From the earliest hours, individuals of all ages responded to help those in need. These acts reflect the Christlike love and resilience that define our community.”
