FEDERAL MONEY IS FLOWING INTO HAWAIʻI to assist with this year's lava, flood, and fire disasters across the state. Communities are already receiving direct federal assistance.

| Homeland Security Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen, Gov. David Ige, Sen. Brian Schatz, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and other officials, met today about federal assistance for the many natural disasters that have struck the state this year. Photo from Gabbard's office |
Said Gabbard, "Our communities across the state are still feeling the impacts of storms in April, the volcanic eruption that started in May, and most recently the rain and high winds brought by Lane. Our state and county governments, along with residents and businesses, are counting on FEMA support to help offset the costs of disaster response and recovery. Even with all the hard work and progress that's been made already, there is still a long road ahead for the people of Hawaiʻi. We must ensure that our partnerships between the local, state and federal governments continue to provide services and assistance for those in need."

RESCHEDULED DUE TO HURRICANE LANE, WAIHOʻOLUʻU OLA: LIVING COLOR DYERY hosts a workshop on Saturday, September 1, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m, at Volcano Art Center's Niʻaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Waihoʻoluʻu is a creative natural collective started by husband, Justin (the alchemist) and wife, Waiʻala (the artist).
The workshop focuses on using traditional methods of banding and folding, in traditional and modern shibori styles, to create patterns as participants explore the alchemy of indigo, a plant-derived pigment. Students will use a plant-derived indigo vat to dye natural fiber goods and create shibori resist patterns using folding, wrapping, and clamping techniques, and learn how to control hue density with multiple dyeing submersions. Students will bring home new skills and understanding of indigo dye, as well as their own finished sample pieces.
