Big Island Quake Fund

On October 15th a devastating series of earthquakes struck the Hawaiian Islands damaging buildings, triggering landslides, and causing a statewide power outage.



While there were no lives lost in the disaster, homes and property were devastated by the massive tremors:

• Over 2000 homes were damaged on the Island of Hawaii and most of the homeowners do not have the necessary insurance to cover the cost of repairing their homes.
• Total property damage caused by the earthquakes is estimated to be over $200 million.

This event was created together with the Hawaii Community Foundation to benefit their Hawaii Island Earthquake Recovery Fund. The fund is shared among nonprofit organizations that work with earthquake victims getting their homes repaired or rebuilt.
