Community meeting for Wainiha and H5'ena residents set for Sunday
A community meeting for isolated Wainiha and H5'ena residents is scheduled for Sunday,
April 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Hanalei Colony Resort on 5-7130 Kuhi6 Highway.
"During my site visits this week to the Wainiha and HA'ena area, our isolated residents
have expressed challenges on receiving updated information because of the lack of internet
connectivity," said Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. "We will be offering important information for our
community members so they are connected with the rest of the island, have the resources they
need, and remain safe."
Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr., the County of Kauai, state, federal, and community partners
will give an update on emergency relief efforts, status on infrastructure in and around the
community, and information on upcoming recovery plans and available resources.
Community meetings for other parts of the island will be scheduled and announced in the
upcoming days.
