(Honolulu)– The City and County of Honolulu remains actively engaged in recovery operations following the recent Kona low storms, with crews working across Oʻahu to remove debris, restore impacted areas, and assist affected communities.
Debris/Cleanup Update
The Department of Facility Maintenance (DFM) continues around-the-clock recovery operations across Oʻahu, with active work underway in Waialua, Waiʻanae, Mānoa, and other impacted communities. Crews are focused on debris hauling near ʻŌtake Bridge and Long Bridge, as well as removing mud and sediment from ʻŌtake Stream to improve water flow and reduce flooding risks.
Debris hauling operations remain ongoing at the temporary debris storage and reduction site at Patsy T. Mink Central Oʻahu Regional Park (CORP). Today, thirty loads, totaling an estimated 250 tons, was transported from CORP to the landfill, while an additional 29 loads, or roughly 200 tons, was received at CORP.
The public is advised not to move debris from beaches into public areas or roadways. Current debris removal operations are focused on residential areas, and relocating debris from shorelines may delay cleanup efforts in impacted communities. The City appreciates the public’s cooperation as recovery efforts continue.
Community Assistance Center (CAC)
Today, March 29, 2026, the CAC at Waialua District Park served over 130 households, growing the number of total households served to more than 400 since opening on Thursday.
The CAC provides a range of essential services for those impacted by the storm, including medical assistance, replacement of vital records and identification, housing support, and information on available disaster assistance programs. The center remains open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will continue operating as long as services are needed.
Parking is available at Waialua District Park, with additional parking at Waialua Elementary School on weekends only. Visitors are advised to follow posted signage for parking and shuttle information.
