The Maui County Office of Recovery is urging residents and business owners affected by March’s kona low storms to take advantage of two federal disaster assistance programs, with in-person help available across Maui County.

Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration are staffing recovery centers to assist those with property damage or financial needs tied to the storms.

“Whether you need FEMA assistance or an SBA disaster loan, we encourage you to visit these centers,” said John Smith, administrator of the Maui County Office of Recovery. “These federal agencies are here in support of Maui County residents and businesses, and we want to ensure everyone is able to get the support they need.”

Centers are open at locations including Maui Mall in Kahului, Lahaina Gateway, South Maui Community Park gym in Kihei, Mitchell Pauʻole Community Center in Kaunakakai and the Kihei Public Library, though hours vary by site.

Key deadlines include May 14 for FEMA Serious Needs Assistance, June 14 for other FEMA Individual Assistance and SBA physical damage loans, and Jan. 7, 2027, for SBA economic injury loans.

FEMA assistance may cover essential needs not met by insurance, while SBA loans provide low-interest options for homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofits. More information is available at disasterassistance.gov and sba.gov/disaster.
