That covers the agencies we follow. It is not an all clear. For local updates, check with the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management.
Every official alert that covers Oʻahu, newest first: National Weather Service warnings, watches and advisories for Honolulu and the rest of the island, and Hawaiian Electric storm and outage updates. Below are the City & County of Honolulu planning links and emergency numbers worth saving while the weather is calm.
As of 4:18 PM HST, the National Weather Service has no watches, warnings or advisories in effect for Oʻahu.
The National Weather Service uses these terms precisely, and the difference between two of them is the difference between packing and leaving.
A watch upgrading to a warning is not a small change in wording. Treat it as the signal to stop preparing and start doing.
Every number here was read off the agency's own page on the date shown. Agencies do change them, so if one does not connect, use the source link beside it.
For a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Honolulu County publishes maps and planning geodata, but no live incident feed for road closures, evacuations or shelter status the way Hawaiʻi County does. So the alerts above come from the National Weather Service and Hawaiian Electric. County announcements, road closures and refuge openings come from the links above, and during an event they change faster than any page that is not the county's own.
A refuge area is a last resort, not a first choice. Your own home, a friend or family member's home, or even your workplace may be safer than a public hurricane refuge area, because those are ordinary buildings that were never built or retrofitted to a storm shelter standard. Pick two places outside your evacuation zone now, and go to a public site only if you have no safer option. This is the county's own guidance.
