Kauai County provides updates on Lowell recovery and Kapule fire
Kauai County is continuing recovery efforts after Hurricane Lowell. Forecasters expect Hurricane Nolo to move close to or below Hawaii Island on Saturday, and Kauai may feel impacts during the weekend. The county emergency management agency is asking households, businesses, and visitors to assemble supplies and review evacuation routes.
Kaua‘i County says recovery from Hurricane Lowell is ongoing. Hurricane Nolo is forecast to pass near or south of Hawai‘i Island on Saturday, with possible weekend effects on Kaua‘i. Hawai‘i County is under a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning, while Maui County has a tropical storm watch. Dangerous winds, rain, surf, surge, and flooding are expected.
The county urges residents, businesses, and visitors to prepare kits and evacuation plans. Recommended supplies include two weeks of food, daily water, radio, flashlight, batteries, medicines, waterproof documents, and small cash. North Shore debris pickup starts Monday from Wainiha through Haena, weather permitting, with sorted items at the right-of-way; green waste and propane tanks are excluded.

Kaua‘i residents, businesses, and visitors may face disrupted travel, cleanup, and daily routines if Hurricane Nolo brings strong winds, rain, flooding, or wildfire conditions. Emergency preparation could ease pressure on local responders and help protect children, elders, pets, and people with access needs. North Shore debris collection may shape recovery timelines and road access. Any Kapule Building fire update could also influence how county officials prioritize recovery resources.
