U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-HI, sent a formal letter to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate on Aug. 13, requesting immediate assistance to support Hawaii Island communities devastated by Hurricane Iselle.
Hawaii Island Mayor Billy Kenoi and the Hawaii County government continue to extend its resources, Gov. Neil Abercrombie activated the Hawaii Civil Defense including the Hawaii National Guard to clear roads, distribute supplies, contribute to command and control, and augment security and safety personnel, but much more needs to be done, Gabbard said.
On Friday, Aug. 15, Gabbard will accompany FEMA’s assessment task force as they review damage on Hawaii Island, after which Gabbard told the FEMA director she hopes FEMA will take immediate action.
"I strongly urge you to support our efforts to deliver help as quickly as possible. The isolated communities have experienced hundreds of fallen trees affecting access to power, and rendering many roads completely impassable. Additionally, many of our senior citizens and residents with medical needs are cut-off from health professionals and medicine. I ask you to be rapid in your response to our natural disaster in Hawaii. We need your help to reduce suffering and restore basic necessities to citizens across this devastated area."
