Summary
Hurricane Lowell sent Kauai’s unemployment claims soaring from 69 to 510 in just one week, forcing businesses like the Stingray Tiki Bar to shut down with little warning—some employees got less than a day’s notice. But unions and local organizations are stepping in: the Chamber of Commerce is launching grant programs and retraining resources, while state labor staff will be on hand at resource centers. Catholic Charities Hawaii is also ramping up housing and utility aid as demand surges—everyone affected is urged to visit CACHawaii.org or apply online for help.
