Jason Momoa has been forced to evacuate his home on Oahu’s North Shore after a devastating storm caused widespread flooding and destruction across Hawaii, and Aquaman star has used his platform to draw attention to those who are hardest hit.
The actor, 46, shared video updates on Instagram confirming that he and his family had left the area after the power went out.
“We’re safe right now, but there are a lot of people who weren’t, so we’re sending all our love,” he told fans.
“The North Shore is pretty crazy right now so just love and hopefully everyone is safe and come out and pull together and figure out how we’re going to help everyone… Stay safe out there.”
Momoa also posted footage of the storm’s aftermath, massive flooding, downed trees and extensive damage across the area he has long called home.
Born in Honolulu and a graduate of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, his connection to the islands runs deep, and the devastation clearly affected him personally.
By Saturday, he and his girlfriend Adria Arjona had jumped into action, organizing a community event on the west side of Oahu to distribute meals to those displaced by the flooding.
“The last few weeks have been tough,” he wrote.
“The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across Oʻahu has affected so many of our people, especially those already facing hardship. Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our homeless neighbors being hit the hardest.”
He added: “We spent time on the west side just trying to show love, bring some food and remind our community that we see you, we stand with you and you’re not alone. That’s what aloha is. It’s showing up for each other when it matters most.”
The scope of the emergency became clearer Saturday morning when the threat of a dam in North Oahu led to mass evacuations, with USA Today reporting that thousands were ordered off the roads as roads faced the risk of imminent failure.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green confirmed on X that about 5,500 people had been evacuated from the North Shore, describing the area as having been “bombarded” with heavy rain.
He reported no fatalities, although he noted there had been a few serious injuries, and urged residents not to take the situation lightly even as the storm began to move from Oahu toward Maui.
