Gov Official in Oahu
GOV OFFICIAL: Reposting from Governor Josh Green Hurricane Lowell has made its expected northward turn and remains forecast to pass west of Kauaʻi, but a slight shift east has increased the potential for tropical storm-force winds. The greatest impacts are expected Monday, particularly on Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. Emergency personnel are deploying to the Kauaʻi Emergency Operations Center, airports and highways are securing facilities and equipment, and food and water have been positioned across Kauaʻi in case flooding or road closures isolate communities. Health officials are working directly with hospice and ventilator patients in vulnerable areas to ensure they are safe and have transportation if needed. A statewide flood watch remains in effect through Tuesday, with significant flooding, damaging winds and dangerous surf possible. Please complete your preparations, avoid coastal areas and follow official county and state updates. We are prepared, but everyone must remain vigilant.
