On Saturday, Red Cross volunteers assessed the damages brought by the wind storm on Hawaii County, Maui County and Oahu.  On Hawaii County, volunteers met with two families whose homes were destroyed in Pahoa and Mountain View and provided them with financial assistance for their immediate emergency needs of food, shelter and clothing.  On Maui County, volunteers identified two homes that appear to have sustained damaged but are currently inaccessible.  On Oahu, volunteers identified two homes for follow-up assistance.
