Tropical Storm Lala Update 🌪️🌴

Tropical Storm Lala has strengthened, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, and is currently located about 620 miles east-southeast of Hilo. Lala is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane as it approaches Hawaiʻi Island Saturday morning.

Lala may pass south of the rest of the state Saturday into Sunday, but impacts could extend well beyond the storm’s track, including heavy rainfall, flash flooding, damaging winds, storm surge, rough surf and dangerous rip currents.

🌬️ Hawaiʻi Island could see winds up to 74 mph, with stronger gusts possible, especially at higher elevations. These winds may damage buildings, snap or uproot trees, block roads, and cause power and communications outages.

Please prepare now to protect yourself, your ʻohana and your property.

🌀 Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C Update (August 12, 2026)

We are continuing to monitor Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C. The system remains broad and disorganized, with maximum sustained winds around 40 mph, but is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm tomorrow, Thursday, as it moves west-northwest toward Hawaiʻi.

Current forecasts indicate the potential for heavy rainfall, life-threatening flash flooding and landslides, strong and gusty winds, large and rough surf, and fire weather concerns. The timing and location of these impacts remain uncertain.

As the storm organizes over the next few days, forecast confidence should improve.

Please remember to:
• Sign up for emergency alerts
• Make sure your emergency supplies are ready
• Stay informed and be prepared to take action if conditions change

🌿 New Laws Strengthen Environmental Protection in Hawaiʻi

Two new laws signed this year advance conservation efforts, protect Hawaiʻi’s native ecosystems, and support a cleaner energy future.

🌱 Act 226 formally recognizes the Hawaiʻi Conservation Sanctuary as a nonprofit entity dedicated to preserving and protecting endangered species and indigenous wildlife. The law strengthens support for coordinated conservation initiatives and gives conservation professionals additional tools to address biodiversity loss and restore Hawaiʻi’s native ecosystems.

🚗 Act 258 requires the Department of Transportation to establish a statewide Clean Fuel Standard to reduce transportation emissions and lower the carbon intensity of fuels used in Hawaiʻi.

Together, these measures strengthen our commitment to protecting Hawaiʻi’s natural resources and advancing a clean energy economy.

🚲 New E-bike Safety Law Signed!

As electric bicycles and other micro-mobility devices become more common across Hawaiʻi, Act 259 establishes clear, consistent statewide safety standards to help protect riders, pedestrians and our communities.

The new law updates operating rules, requires helmet use for minors and age-based operating restrictions, clarifies where e-bikes and scooters may be used, strengthens registration and labeling requirements, and improves enforcement of illegal or noncompliant devices.

Act 259 reflects years of dedication from advocates, families, and community members who worked to make Hawaiʻi’s roads safer. If it helps prevent even one tragedy or saves one life, every effort behind its passage will have been worth it.

🌿 Act 226 strengthens Hawaiʻi’s commitment to protecting our native ecosystems by formally recognizing the Hawaiʻi Conservation Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization inspired by New Zealand’s Zealandia (Te Māra a Tāne).

The state-recognized sanctuary will support endangered species protection, conservation research, education, and habitat restoration efforts. The measure also enables collaboration with state agencies, supports sustainable agricultural tourism opportunities, and advances long-term conservation goals while strengthening protections for Hawaiʻi’s biosecurity.
