Hawaii is facing extensive recovery efforts following severe flooding caused by two low winter storm systems approximately a week apart, which overwhelmed the saturated ground and resulted in widespread damage. Governor Josh Green has requested a major disaster declaration from President Donald Trump, estimating damages could exceed $1 billion, impacting every county and straining emergency services. Nonprofits, mutual aid networks, and foundations are actively collecting donations to assist affected households, farmers, and animals. Organizations like Lahui Foundation, Aloha United Way, The Hawaiian Council, and the Hawaii Community Foundation are providing financial aid, supplies, temporary housing, and medical support, with musician Jack Johnson endorsing the Lahui Foundation. Animal shelters and agricultural groups are also seeking donations to aid in recovery and rebuild the local food system, with estimated farm damages reaching over $15 million.
