If you’re visiting Hawaiʻi right now, please travel with a little extra aloha. 🌺

As communities recover from Lala, things may look a little different than usual. Some roads, businesses and places may have limited access while crews work to clean up and restore services.

A few simple things can make a difference:

🚗 Stay local when possible
📱 Check conditions before heading out
🚧 Give cleanup and utility crews room to work
🏨 Check with your hotel about what’s currently open
🍽️ Support local businesses that are safely operating
🙏 Be patient with delays and closures
🌊 Respect areas that remain closed or unsafe

Hawaiʻi is still here to welcome you. Traveling thoughtfully helps give our communities the space they need to recover.
