AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoHurricane Lowell Watch: Hawaii is bracing for possible brush from a major Hurricane Lowell as it churns in the Pacific and is forecast to make a sharp northward turn near the western islands late next week; officials warn of storm surge, wind, and heavy rain risk even if the exact track shifts, and Gov. Josh Green declared a statewide emergency with calls for 14 days of supplies. El Niño Intensifies: Forecasters say this year’s “super” El Niño is already driving unusually high hurricane activity, with three storms (Lowell, Karina, and Marie) strengthening and weakening in parallel—raising the odds of rough surf and weather impacts across the region. Maui Water Infrastructure: Maui County’s Water and Infrastructure Committee advanced a plan to develop three new Waiʻōhuli groundwater wells and a transmission system to support DHHL homestead housing, moving the bill to the full Council. Native Hawaiian Education Funding: The U.S. Department of Education awarded $29.7M to keep the Native Hawaiian Education Program running, extending early childhood and family support services statewide after months of uncertainty. Hawaiʻi County Sewer Rates: Hawaiʻi County lawmakers deferred a proposed sewer rate hike after public testimony, with a plan that could raise monthly bills significantly over the next several years.
