A Big Island nonprofit is moving homeless people off the streets ahead of the next storm — good news for a group that has almost no protection when weather turns bad.

• Hope Services, the largest homeless provider on Hawaiʻi Island, sent outreach teams into coastal camps as the storm hit.
• Workers pushed people toward higher ground and told them where emergency shelters are.
• Coastal and low-lying areas are the most dangerous spots, since flooding hits them first.
• Repairs to the group's own emergency shelter are still under way, and they are asking for donations.

Outlook: With another storm approaching, outreach teams will run the same push to clear coastal camps before it arrives.
