How long do hurricanes hurt Hawaiʻi’s businesses?

For Hawaiʻi’s small businesses severe weather can mean lost sales and fewer customers, which often leads to difficult decisions long after the storms clear. Those impacts reach the people they employ and the ʻohana who depend on them.

Has your business been affected by the recent hurricanes and severe weather? Share your experience through the Kākoʻo Mai Business Needs Assessment. Your responses help Hawaiian Council advocate for your business recovery needs and shape programs to address them.

Take 10–15 minutes to tell us what your business needs at kakoomai.org/business

Know a business owner navigating recovery? Share this with them.

This ʻāina is back in Hawaiian hands.

Long before Sea Life Park, this was a place of sustenance. A fishing village fed the people of this entire moku. Our kūpuna rest in these mountains and in the ground beneath our feet. Their stories were never gone. They were waiting for us to return.

With Kumu Hina, we blessed this place and the kuleana that comes with it. The honu, naiʻa, and ʻīlioholoikauaua who live here are kūpuna of the sea, and caring for them is work our people have always done.

We see a park that is a classroom, where the world can come and see traditional knowledge and modern science side by side. A place that tells our stories for the kūpuna who came before us and the keiki yet to come.

62 years as a window into the ocean. Now, a homecoming.
