Jason Momoa’s heartwarming act before he and thousands of Hawaiians flee island

Jason Momoa has shared a heartfelt message after doing what he could to support local families in Hawaii before he was later forced to evacuate himself.

The Honolulu-born actor posted on Instagram as severe weather continued to disrupt life on Oʻahu, with repeated storms, relentless rainfall, and heavy flooding striking communities already dealing with major challenges.

In his update, Momoa emphasized that his concern was with those most impacted—particularly families who had been displaced and people left especially vulnerable as the conditions worsened.

He wrote: “Aloha everyone, These past weeks have been heavy. The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across Oʻahu have affected so many of our people especially those already facing hardship. Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest….”

Instead of limiting his response to social media, the Aquaman star spent time on the ground, helping to deliver food to residents on Oʻahu’s west side.

Thanking those who joined the effort, Momoa continued: “I just want to take a moment to say Mahalo to my ʻohana, and to everyone at @zippys who stepped up this week with open hearts. What may feel like a small gesture can mean everything to someone in need.”

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.”

He also acknowledged others who took part, before closing with a call for anyone who can to lend a hand.

Momoa concluded: “It was a small act, but it came from a place of deep love for our people.

“If you’re out there and able to help in any way no matter how big or small please do. Check in on your neighbors. Give what you can. Spread aloha.”

The comments came as Momoa later had to evacuate as well, with officials saying the flooding was among the worst Hawaii has faced in more than two decades.

Around 5,500 people were placed under evacuation orders while the Kona Low storm brought extensive damage, and Governor Josh Green warned losses could ultimately exceed $1 billion.

Momoa later told fans he and his family had made it out safely, writing: “I’ve got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore. A lot of people have been asking.”
