March 2026 Catastrophic Floods & Severe Weather in Hawaii 🛑⚠️
Aloha everyone, Hawaii needs your help.
I don't know if much news has made it to the mainland, but Hawaii has been hit by two large storms one after the other, that have dumped massive amounts of rain and left many areas with catastrophic floods. Houses have been ripped up and floated away, wastewater systems overwhelmed, power outages, falling rocks and trees, and the Wahiawa Dam has been hovering near max capacity, putting downstream rural towns (Waialua and Haleiwa on the north shore of Oahu) on mandatory evacuation alert.

Please donate to these relief organizations if you can, and share this post!
The Lahui Foundation are boots-on-the-ground working at evac shelters right now. They're asking for physical items but they're accepting monetary donations too.
Hawaii Community Foundation is a legit organization that has given significant donations to assist in the recovery from the 2023 Maui fires. Their Stronger Hawaii Fund has been activated to respond to the recent flooding.
The Hawaii Food Bank serves Oahu and Kauai, in partnership with the Maui Food Bank and The Food Basket, which serves Hawaii Island (the Big Island). These guys are also doing emergency food distributions right now.
Aloha United Way is another reputable non-profit organization that has been helping out during this severe weather and was providing lots of recovery efforts during and after the Maui fires.
Hawaii Farmers Union is another boots-on-the-ground nonprofit that's assisting in flood recovery. Waialua and Haleiwa are just two of multiple rural agricultural towns facing significant farm damage.
The situation is still evolving- there may be more rain incoming, and evacuation/clean-up efforts are still underway. I'll continue to update this post if need be, but these organizations will remain great ones to donate to and keep an eye on in the coming days.
