City Storm Response Update: Flash Flood Warning Canceled for Oahu

The City and County of Honolulu continues to closely monitor weather conditions and storm-related impacts across Oʻahu after a day of heavy rain. A Flash Flood Warning that was issued by the National Weather Service was canceled at 7:05 p.m. but a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 a.m. Saturday, so residents are urged to stay vigilant.

The evacuation notice for Otake Camp has been lifted and no other evacuations are in place at this time. Evacuation buses are no longer operating and TheBus is back on its regular schedule. Route 521 serving Waialua remains fare-free.

First responder agencies will continue to be on alert through the weekend and assets will remain pre-staged. High water vehicles are stationed on the North Shore overnight in the event they are needed.

Road Closures:
Large boulders have caused a full road closure on Kamehameha Highway near Waimea Bay. City crews continue to respond to flooding on roadways and in streams and drainage areas as needed.

Emergency Shelters:
Emergency shelters remain open. Case workers will begin working with occupants starting tomorrow morning to ensure they have a place to stay before any shelters close.

Shelters are open to both residents and visitors and are pet-friendly. Individuals are encouraged to bring essential items, including food, water, medications, and pet supplies. Shelters are operated in partnership with the American Red Cross and houseless outreach providers, and are coordinated through Partners In Care.
