Hawaiian Electric remains at the ready while monitoring
wildfire risk conditions
Customers urged to prepare for possible power outages
HONOLULU, Nov. 15, 2024 – With the National Weather Service upgrading its fire weather
watch to a red flag warning for leeward areas of the Hawaiian Islands today, Nov. 15, between
10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Hawaiian Electric stands ready with its Public Safety Power Shutoff
program. This does not mean power will be proactively or automatically turned off in
communities with high exposure to wildfire risk during that period. Customers are urged to
review their own emergency plans and prepare for the possibility of extended power outages, if
it becomes necessary for public safety.
Please be advised that outages not related to the company’s PSPS program could occur due to
other conditions.
For more information and maps of areas that have high wildfire risk, call Hawaiian Electric’s
PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.
