Kiko is forecast to approach Hawaii during the early to middle portion of next week. Impacts from wind and rain remain a possibility, but it is still too soon to determine the exact location and magnitude of these impacts. Interest in the islands should continue to monitor Kiko.

[Oahu Emergency Mgmt. @Oahu_DEM]

Saturday 11AM Update: Hurricane Kiko is forecast to pass north of Oahu next week. High surf is expected ahead of Kiko. Small changes in the forecast can make a large difference in the impacts. It is too early to determine intensity of rain and wind as Kiko passes. #hurricaneKiko

[Oahu Emergency Mgmt. @Oahu_DEM]

Tsunami Warning downgraded to Tsunami Advisory.

Evacuations canceled for Oahu. Residents may return home.

Remain cautious in or near the water. Widespread flooding is NOT expected. Stay away from beaches, shorelines, and out of the ocean.

BREAKING: Tropical Storm Chantal has formed off the coast of South Carolina with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

It’s expected to make landfall early Sunday along the SC/NC coastline.

Heavy rain, flash flooding and dangerous rip currents are expected.

As both a physician and the governor of Hawai‘i, I’m sounding the alarm. When we undermine Medicaid — the lifeline for nearly one in three Hawai‘i residents — we don’t just cut costs, we cut lives short.

[Governor Josh Green @GovJoshGreenMD]

I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we let misinformation chip away at trust in science—people get sick, and lives are lost.

[Jennifer Lazo @Jdlazo]

This is a really, really good article/report getting into technical elements of what happened with emergency alerting in the January Fires. I recommend everyone in emergency management review. https://t.co/9ctDQ5fuBV #emgtwitter
