Maui and Hawai‘i Island Wildfire Update
Aloha,
As you have probably heard, devastating wildfires are affecting areas on Maui and Hawai‘i Island’s Kohala Coast. These fires are resulting in road closures and evacuations affecting thousands of residents and visitors. The update below includes additional details, and highlights the following three key points:
Visitors who are on non-essential travel are being asked to leave Maui, and non-essential travel to Maui is strongly discouraged at this time. Visitors who have travel plans to West Maui in the coming weeks are encouraged to consider rescheduling their travel plans for a later time.
Travel to the rest of the Hawaiian Islands (Kaua‘i, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, and other parts of Hawaiʻi Island) is currently unaffected.
While Kahului Airport on Maui remains open at this time, residents and visitors with travel bookings are encouraged to check with their airline for any flight changes or cancellations, or for assistance with rebooking.
