Storm Event Page
Active Storm Conditions — Hawaiʻi
Current storm tracking with post-storm wildfire risk context for Maui, Hawaiʻi Island, and the rest of the Hawaiian Islands. Drawn from NWS, NOAA, and NHC sources.
Current status
Storm event page is prepared for active-event use. When a tropical cyclone, severe thunderstorm, or other named storm event is active in the Hawaiian Islands region, Kahu Ola will surface civic-relevant context here — track, post-storm wildfire risk, and links to the authoritative sources residents should follow.
For current warnings and official directives, follow NWS Honolulu, HIEMA, and your county emergency management agency.
Live situational awareness
The Kahu Ola Live Hazard Map is the active situational awareness surface for storm-period hazards. It aggregates wildfire detections, flash flood signals, air quality, and fire weather context across the islands.
The live map is the primary place to look during a storm event. This page documents storm scope and routing; the live map shows what is happening right now.
Official sources residents should follow
Kahu Ola provides situational awareness only. For emergency decisions during a storm event, always follow these official authorities:
