SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The primary objectives of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare and issue
official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production,
disposition and prices, economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to conduct the Census of
Agriculture and its follow-on surveys. Starting on August 8, 2023,
areas on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, and Molokai experienced damages
from wildfires and high winds. Wildfires destroyed much of the city of
Lahaina which was the location of agricultural sales and agritourism
activities. Though some farms received physical damage from the
wildfires and high winds, many others were impacted by the loss of
markets and agritourism income. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture
(HDOA) requested USDA-NASS to conduct a disaster survey to account for
loss of crops/livestock, loss of commodity/product sales, damaged
equipment, farm structures, other infrastructure, seeds, etc. This
survey is to be conducted to ascertain the extent of economic losses
(reduce revenue from sales of agricultural products and agritourism),
damages on an acreage/livestock basis, (including livestock culling),
agricultural infrastructure (buildings, equipment, irrigation, fencing,
etc.), impact on agricultural workers. Response to the survey is
voluntary.
General authority for these data collection activities is granted
under U.S.C. Title 7, Section 2204.
