Case Votes to Aid Disaster Victims

Statement

US Congressman Ed Case (Hawai"i -- District 1) voted with his House colleagues on May 10 to pass out an extra measure of aid to communities in Hawai"i hard hit by natural disasters last year. "On May 10 I voted to pass a supplemental appropriations package that will provide $19.1 billion in disaster relief and assistance across the country, including our Hawai"i," said Case.

"This bill would help sustain a full response to last year's flooding on O"ahu and Kaua"i, as well as the areas impacted by the Kīlauea eruption on the Big Island."

"The Neighbor Islands bore the brunt of the damage from natural disasters of the past year," said Congressman Ed Case. "O`ahu was also severely affected and the aftermath was felt throughout the state including disruption of our tourism and agriculture industries and beyond. These sorely needed funds will assist those affected to recover and carry on with their lives."
