Episode Details

Hawaii’s congressional delegation is urgently urging President Trump to approve a federal disaster declaration for the Big Island following a devastating 6.0 magnitude earthquake in May, which damaged nearly 550 homes and destroyed or severely damaged over 100. With 20% of residents living below the poverty line and another 20% having disabilities, and state and local governments already overwhelmed from recent disasters since 2018, this aid is critical—not just for rebuilding, but for long-term resilience. The declaration would unlock individual assistance for affected families and hazard mitigation funds to prevent future damage. Governor’s request in hand, the delegation insists this is not optional, but essential for recovery. Watch closely to see if the President acts.
