Meeting for Wainiha, Haena residents today

HANALEI — A community meeting for isolated Wainiha and Haena residents is scheduled 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today at the Hanalei Colony Resort, 5-7130 Kuhio Highway, Haena.

Teams from the Kauai Police Department and the Kauai Fire Department went door-to-door Saturday to notify all affected residents.

“During my site visits this (last) week to the Wainiha and Haena area, our isolated residents have expressed challenges on receiving updated information because of the lack of internet connectivity,” said Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. “We will be offering important information for our community members so they are connected with the rest of the island, have the resources they need and remain safe.”

Carvalho, other county, state, federal and community partners will give updates on emergency relief efforts, status on infrastructure in and around the community, and information on upcoming recovery plans and available resources.

Community meetings for other parts of the island will be scheduled and announced in the upcoming days.
