Plan, Prepare, Prevail - Get Ready Before the Storm

Many of the pumps and facilities that deliver drinking water throughout Oʻahu rely on electricity. If widespread power outages or storm damage occur, water service may be temporarily interrupted.

That's why it's important to be prepared by storing enough water for drinking, cooking, and basic sanitation.

• Make sure you are storing at least one gallon of water per person, per day, for 14 days, as well as additional water for pets.
• Continue using your emergency water supply wisely until normal water service has been restored.

Sign up for HNL Alert at hnlalert.gov for the latest updates regarding your water service.

Due to high winds and rain across Oʻahu, we will be temporarily suspending services to ensure the safety of passengers, operators, and the traveling public.

Strong winds, combined with periods of heavy rainfall, can create hazardous conditions that can impact transit operations, including roadways and passenger facilities. In addition, flooding and traffic congestion may further affect safe and reliable service. Our high-profile city buses are especially susceptible to strong, sustained winds and related storm gusts.

TheBus will suspend routes that are scheduled for 8:31 p.m. or later, system-wide, until further notice.

Any routes scheduled to depart at 8:30 p.m. or earlier will start their trip and continue to its scheduled end point.

Skyline remains operational until 10:30 p.m.

Handi-Van will continue normal operations.

TheBus services will remain suspended until weather conditions improve and it is safe to resume operations. The City will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates on when service will return to normal.

The public is urged to avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather, allow extra time for travel, and exercise extreme caution if driving. TheBus passengers should consider alternate arrangements for Saturday night into Sunday morning in the event service cannot be resumed.
