Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund-Board of Directors

The Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund Board of Directors oversees the state's hurricane insurance relief fund, which was established to provide a backstop for hurricane property insurance coverage after the private market largely withdrew from Hawaii following Hurricane Iniki in 1992. The board manages the fund's assets and sets policies for coverage availability and claims. The fund plays a critical role in homeowners' ability to obtain hurricane insurance in Hawaii.

For Hawaii homeowners, especially on Kauai and Maui, hurricane insurance availability and affordability depend significantly on the fund this board oversees. Changes in fund policy can directly affect your ability to insure your home against hurricane damage.
