HRS §385-1
Extra unemployment pay after a disaster
This section lets the governor turn on extra unemployment benefits after a disaster, natural or manmade, that damages many people or families and causes job losses. The benefits start only when the governor issues a proclamation naming the affected counties. It does not set amounts or deadlines.
