On Saturday, October 12, at 10 AM, architecture students from the Illinois Institute of Technology will visit Maui to meet us and learn more about our vision for rebuilding our church and campus.

We will not only consider how we would like to rebuild our church, church hall, preschool, and dwellings lost in the fire, but we will also discuss how we can better use the abundant land that has long been our legacy. For example, perhaps we can provide affordable housing and meeting places for our community, making our church a more active place of hope for our community.

We will be meeting at Lahuiokalani Kaanapali Congregational Church, 3654 Lower Honoapiilani Rd., Lahaina, HI 96761. Please join us in this hopeful discussion.

The Lahaina Disaster Recovery Center will close permanently on Saturday, April 27, but that doesn’t mean FEMA won’t continue to help the people who were displaced by the August wildfires on Maui or that FEMA is leaving the state.

Helping Maui recover will take time, and FEMA will be here for the long haul.

Even after the recovery center at Lahaina Civic Center Gymnasium closes at 3 p.m. on April 27, help from FEMA is just a phone call away. Survivors can get answers from trained specialists at the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Operators speak many languages and are available to answer your questions from 2 a.m. to 9 p.m. HST, seven days a week.

Survivors who are waiting to be placed in units offered under FEMA’s Direct Lease program can call 808-784-1600. Leave your nine-digit FEMA registration number and a phone number where you can be reached, and a case worker will return your call within 24 hours.

Those who need continuing rental assistance can reach out to FEMA Helpline specialists. It is also important to stay in touch with FEMA if you change your address or phone number, even if only temporarily. Missing or wrong information could delay your assistance.

You can also update FEMA about changes to your personal information by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov. You may click on the green ‘Check Status’ button to create an online account. Use the same email you provided when you applied for assistance. If you applied online or used the FEMA app, you already have a disaster assistance account.
