Disaster help center closing

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Disaster Recovery Center in Hanalei will close Saturday, ending four weeks of daily service for flood victims applying for Individual Assistance programs, loan assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration and other disaster assistance programs.

Hours for the remaining days are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The center is in the Hanalei Elementary School cafeteria.

The SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Center in Koloa closed Saturday; however, agency representatives will be available at the Hanalei center through Saturday.

As of Thursday, approximately $1.2 million in Individual Assistance grant funding had been approved by FEMA to qualifying Kauai and Oahu residents affected by flash flooding in mid-April, officials said. Of that amount, approximately $522,741 was approved for Kauai residents. An additional $3.1 million in SBA Home Loans and Business/Economic Injury Disaster Loans has been approved for applicants on both islands.

Although the center is closing, residents may continue to register for FEMA assistance online or via phone until Aug. 27. Call 800-621-FEMA (3362) or visit disasterassistance.gov.
