The National Weather Service (NWS) issued notice this morning that a Red Flag Warning (RFW) has been issued for the leeward areas of Kaua‘i and the island of Ni‘ihau, through 6:00 p.m. on Friday, August 1. NWS defines leeward to include the south shore areas of Mahaulepu, Kōloa and Po‘ipū and all areas west of Kōloa/Po‘ipū.

KIUC will monitor weather conditions during the RFW period and determine whether actions need to be taken to protect life and property. These actions could include proactively de-energizing lines in areas vulnerable to wildfire such as Kōke‘e and Mahaulepu, and/or setting electrical circuits to not automatically re-close once opened.

Members should prepare for potential outages with little to no notice, that could be of long-duration depending on the status of the RFW and weather conditions.

Updates will be provided on KIUC's Facebook page. If you don't have a Facebook account, the feed can be viewed on the home page of KIUC's website.

For weather updates, call the National Weather Service automated weather line at 808-245-6001, or visit the NWS website.

To sign up for the county’s emergency notification service, Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS), please go to the county’s website, or call the Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency at 808-241-1800.
