I signed a fourth supplementary proclamation extending the emergency relief period for the Kaua‘i floods that occurred in April 2018.
This fourth supplementary proclamation, which applies to Kaua‘i only, once again extends the authority to spend state funds as appropriated to protect the health, safety and welfare of Garden Island residents. The proclamation also supports the state’s effort to provide quick and efficient relief of suffering, damage, and losses caused by the flooding.
The initial emergency proclamation was signed on April 15, 2018. A supplementary proclamation was issued on April 18, 2018, with a second supplementary proclamation issued on June 17, 2018. Acting Gov. Douglas Chin signed the third supplementary proclamation on Aug. 16, 2018.
This fourth supplementary proclamation extends the disaster emergency relief period for Kaua‘i until Dec. 14, 2018.

Yesterday, I participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for Par Hawaii Refinery of its new distillate hydrotreater in Kapolei.
