Acting Governor Sylvia Luke has signed an emergency proclamation in response to a low-pressure weather system impacting the Hawaiian Islands. The decision was made due to concerns over potential flooding and damage that may result from the weather conditions.

“Heavy rains and strong winds are expected, and we want to ensure that our communities are prepared for any possible impacts,” said Acting Governor Luke. The proclamation aims to expedite state resources and assistance for affected areas.

The National Weather Service has issued warnings for various regions across the islands, advising residents to remain vigilant. Local authorities have been instructed to coordinate with state agencies in anticipation of necessary support.

Emergency management teams are on standby as officials monitor the situation closely. “We urge everyone to stay informed through official channels and take precautions as needed,” added Acting Governor Luke.

The emergency proclamation will facilitate rapid deployment of resources if conditions worsen, ensuring timely response efforts.
