Flooding across O‘ahu. Families need us now.
E kākoʻo mai kākou
Flooding across Oʻahu beginning in March 2026 has left families displaced, homes damaged, and communities facing urgent and immediate needs. For many, the path to recovery begins now, and it cannot wait.
At the Hawaiian Council, we believe that in moments like this, we show up for one another. Through Kākoʻo Maui, we witnessed the strength of our lāhui - coming together to provide critical financial assistance, housing support, and pathways to recovery for families impacted by the Maui wildfires. That same commitment drives us today.
Our hearts are with every family impacted.
We are here to kākoʻo. Help is on the way.

In March 2026, the Hawaiian Council launched Kākoʻo Oʻahu, a coordinated effort to deliver immediate relief and ongoing support to those affected by this disaster.
Kākoʻo Oʻahu is a donation campaign to aid communities and individuals impacted by the floods and weather events beginning in March 2026. Funding will support evolving needs, including providing housing stability services, financial assistance, and other services to support impacted communities.
