Aloha,

All state and county offices on Oʻahu, including all University of Hawaiʻi campuses and facilities on Oʻahu, will be closed tomorrow, Friday, April 10, due to expected severe weather conditions. A decision regarding government offices and UH facilities in Maui County and Hawaiʻi County will be made early Friday morning.

 

The official announcements for Oʻahu were issued at 6:40 p.m., Thursday, April 9, by Gov. Josh Green and Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.

 

Forecasts from the National Weather Service indicate a prolonged period of heavy rain through the morning and into the afternoon on Oʻahu, with the potential for flash flooding and possible power disruptions. Residents are strongly encouraged to limit travel unless absolutely necessary to allow emergency responders and utility crews to address weather-related impacts.

 

University leadership continues to monitor conditions closely and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

Official County Notification

Conditions will vary by county and location. The most timely and location-specific alerts will come from the county where you live. Sign-up information for each county’s notification system is provided below:

You may also monitor these trusted sources for real-time weather updates:

UH RAVE Alert System

For added safety, all UH students, faculty and staff are encouraged to sign up for mobile alerts through the UH RAVE Alert system to receive emergency notifications directly.

Please stay safe, take necessary precautions and limit travel where possible.

Mahalo for you time and attention,
