The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for the leeward areas and some central areas of all Hawaiian islands, as well as northern portions of Hawaiʻi Island, through 6 p.m. Saturday due to a forecast of low humidity and strong wind gusts.

Because of the weather conditions, Hawaiian Electric could implement its Public Safety Power Shutoff program to proactively shut off power in communities with high exposure to wildfire risk.

Outages that are not related to the company’s PSPS program could still occur due to high winds and other conditions.

For more information and maps, call Hawaiian Electric’s PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.
