Tropical Storm Moke has slightly weakened with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and will pass south of Hawaii today.

Moke will begin to impact the Big Island early Sunday morning with heavy rain. Rain will then spread westward across the remainder of the Hawaiian Islands through Monday. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides for the windward and southeast Big Island, especially in steep terrain and over areas that were affected recently by Lala.

Although the strongest winds associated with Moke are expected to pass south of the Hawaiian Islands, strong gusty winds are likely, particularly in areas within and downslope of higher terrain. Swells generated by the storm may cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through early next week for exposed east and south facing shores of the Hawaiian Islands.

Disaster managers and humanitarian assistance professionals can request access to DisasterAWARE Pro (disasteraware.pdc.org). The public can download our free Disaster Alert mobile app for updates and hazard alerts.

POWER OUTAGE UPDATE | OʻAHU

Hawaiian Electric reports storm-related power outages have affected more than 69,000 customers across Oʻahu.

HECO crews continue to assess damage and work to restore power safely and as quickly as conditions allow. At this time, DPW does not have an estimated restoration time for remaining affected areas.

We understand the frustration of residents who are still without power and are continuing to coordinate with Hawaiian Electric for updates.

Residents who currently have power are asked to conserve electricity to help reduce demand on the electrical system while restoration efforts continue.

We will share additional information as soon as it becomes available.

For current outage information and restoration updates, please continue to monitor Hawaiian Electric’s official channels.

Step 1: Contact the Housing Services Office (HSO) Phone: (808) 787-7700 ✉️ Email: [email protected]

Step 2: Request your individual TLA Authorization Memo. Provide your name, address, and verification of residency in an affected area.
