Kawakami Signs Supplementary Emergency Proclamation For Waimea Rockslide

Residents affected by the January rockslide in Waimea will continue to get the help they need thanks to a move by Kaua‘i County Mayor Derek Kawakami.

According to a news release from the mayor’s office, Kawakami signed the first supplementary emergency proclamation on March 4 for the county as a result of the rockslide that occurred Jan. 4 on Menehune Road.

The purpose of the proclamation is to provide continued relief for disaster damages, losses and suffering and protect the health, safety and welfare of Kaua‘i residents and visitors.

The disaster emergency relief period shall now continue until terminated in 60 days or by a separate proclamation – whichever comes first.
