The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound impact on the world. To address the impact of COVID-19 in the state of Hawai'i, the Hawai'i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) Community Care Outreach Unit conducted an assessment survey to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the health and social welfare of individuals and their families across the state. This article presents key statewide findings from this assessment, including areas of need and community-based recommendations to help mitigate the impact of the pandemic, particularly for vulnerable groups. A total of 7927 participants responded to the assessment survey from across the state's counties. In all questions related to paying for essentials, the percentage of participants that expect to have problems in the future, as compared to now, almost doubled. Slightly higher than one-third reported that they would know how to care for a family member in the home with COVID-19, and half of the respondents reported a lack of space for isolation in their home. About half reported that if they got COVID-19, they would have someone available to care for them. Overall, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Filipino groups reported greater burden in almost all areas surveyed. The results presented provide a baseline in understanding the impact, needs, and threats to the health and social welfare of individuals and their families across the state of Hawai'i. Local stakeholders can utilize this information when developing priorities, strategies, and programs to address current and future pandemics in the state.
