## Resource

Hurricane Lowell slammed Kauai, leaving businesses like The Musubi Truck and Kauai Juice Co. scrambling to help neighbors—free meals, yes—but now the island’s tourism pause is crushing them. With power out and roads wrecked, locals asked tourists to wait; it worked for recovery, but not for survival. Half the Musubi Truck’s crew got laid off, Kauai Juice Co. lost 85% of sales and cut its staff in half. Now Mayor Derek Kawakami’s calling for visitors to return—with patience and local spending—to help rebuild. People are stepping up: digital gift cards, volunteering, even crowdfunding for kids’ meals that also funds their own businesses.
