Locations and schedules are subject to change based on community needs. The most up-to-date information can be found on Ready.Hawaii.gov.

Services Available at Local Recovery Centers

FEMA Individual Assistance specialists can help residents:

• Apply for FEMA Individual Assistance,
• Update or correct an existing application (for example, after receiving an insurance settlement),
• Check the status of their application, and
• Understand FEMA letters, documentation requests, inspections, and appeals.

U.S. Small Business Administration specialists will be on site to assist with low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters, businesses of any size and nonprofits, and answer related questions.

Non-profit and county staff will also be on site to connect residents with local services, including cleanup assistance, basic supplies, and other recovery support.

Residents are encouraged to bring, if available:

• A photo ID,
• The address of their damaged primary residence,
• Insurance information and any claim letters, and
• Any photos, lists of damages, and receipts related to their losses.

If documents are missing, FEMA specialists can still help residents start or continue applications.

• Call the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362,
• Apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov, or
