North Shore flood help info please read before heading out it’s pretty bad up there.

Aloha everyone. I have been helping with rescue and supply efforts connected to the flooding on the North Shore and wanted to share the most helpful ways people can support right now.

The biggest help is staying off the North Shore unless you have ohana there or you are working with a reputable charity. Extra traffic is slowing down recovery efforts and making it harder for residents and responders to move supplies where they are needed.

If you want to help:

• Donate to your local food banks

• Food distribution is happening at the Waialua Sugar Mill

• There is also a booth set up for dog and cat supplies

If you want to help animals, please donate pet supplies to the Hawaiian Humane Society at Kosasa. They are transporting donations up to the distribution centers.

Most needed animal supplies right now:

• 1 gallon jugs of water

• Frontline

• NexGard

• Heartgard

• Wet cat food

• Dry cat food

• Wet dog food (small dog, large dog, and puppies)

• Dry dog food (small dog, large dog, and puppies)

• Leashes and collars in good condition

Please respect the community and give people space to recover. The best way to help right now is to donate and allow responders and residents to do the work safely.
