Kauaʻi has been seeing green after Hurricane Lowell knocked down thousands of avocado trees

Fall 2026 cohort sessions are designed to provide caregivers with information, support and practical tools to help them navigate the challenges of caring for someone with dementia.

Hurricane Lowell recovery continues around Kaua‘i, some of which is still experiencing power outages, without access to some areas and other hazards; 96% of Kaua’i Island Utility Cooperative members had their power back by Saturday night and work continues clearing trees and more in the hardest-hit places, Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources announced Saturday the limited reopening of some state lands early Monday morning.

Some offices could reopen sooner than others, depending on when computer systems are restored. The county will share updates as in-person services resume.

Effort includes $467,075 coming to Hawai’i for expansion of community stewardship at restored wetland sites, increasing coordination among agencies, landowners and organizations working on wetland restoration and reducing regulatory barriers for wetland restoration practitioners.

The planet, known as Elias 2-24 b, is still gathering material from the disk of gas and dust surrounding its young host star, allowing scientists to study a giant planet that is growing.

Grants of up to $1,000 are available to Hawai‘i residents impacted by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lala and Hurricane Lowell, with a Nov. 4 deadline to apply.

Federal spending on Hawaiʻi’s tenant-based rental vouchers — more commonly called Section 8 housing — more than tripled since 2003, even after accounting for inflation; yet, the number of families getting assistance only modestly grew; the reason is simple: Hawaiʻi rents climbed dramatically.

Kauaʻi, Maui and Oʻahu commissioner applicants needed; anyone interested in serving in any of those posts is encouraged to submit an application by the end of 2026, especially for the Kauaʻi and Maui seats to ensure they continue to have voting representation.
