HAWAIʻI COUNTY OPENS SHELTERS IN RESPONSE TO POWER OUTAGES
In response to the prolonged power outages caused by Hurricane Hone, the County of Hawai‘i Department of Parks & Recreation has opened two shelters to support affected households. The shelters will be located at Kea‘au Armory at Shipman Park and Pāhoa Neighborhood Facility at William “Billy” Kenoi District Park.
The County of Hawai‘i is collaborating with Hawaiian Electric to provide critical information and resources at both shelter sites. Additionally, Vibrant Hawai‘i will be on hand to offer further support to those in need.
Both shelter locations are pet-friendly, and Wi-Fi will be available to ensure residents can stay connected during this time.
If you plan to utilize the shelters, please bring the following items to ensure your comfort and safety:
- Prescriptions and emergency medications
- Hygiene supplies and other comfort items
- Supplies needed for children and infants, such as diapers, formula, and toys
- Pet carriers and necessary supplies for your pets
- Chargers for any electronic devices you bring
At this time, donations are not requested. The focus is on providing immediate relief to those impacted by the power outages.
