AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoTropical Storm Moke: A new Pacific system has formed and is expected to pass south of Hawaiʻi, but the Big Island is still in the bullseye for heavy rain and flooding risk. A flood watch runs late Saturday night through Monday afternoon, with 5–10 inches possible and locally up to 15 inches—especially on windward and southeast areas already saturated after Hurricane Lala. Gusty winds and dangerous surf are also expected statewide. Local Readiness: Maui County is urging residents to finish securing property and check on kūpuna and neighbors, warning that even light-to-moderate rain and wind can trigger flooding, debris, downed trees, roadway issues, and power outages after last week’s storm. Hurricane Lala’s Aftermath, Measured: New University of Hawaiʻi research puts Lala’s total rainfall at nearly 2 million Olympic-size pools (about 1.3 trillion gallons) from Aug. 14–16, with Hawaiʻi County receiving 66% of the volume. Volcano Monitoring: Kīlauea’s summit eruption is paused, and USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory field technicians are highlighted for keeping near-real-time monitoring available to the public. Kauaʻi Land Use Review: The Navy and NASA released a final Environmental Impact Statement for continued use of State lands at Kauaʻi’s Pacific Missile Range Facility and Kōkeʻe Park Geophysical Observatory, with public viewing encouraged.
