Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho Jr. together with state and county officials will host a community meeting tonight to discuss emergency preparedness in advance of Hurricane Lane.

The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at the Opakapaka Grill at the Hanalei Colony Resort.

“This community continues to be isolated following the April flood, so it’s important that we are preparing for the potential impacts of Hurricane Lane,” stated Mayor Carvalho. “While there is still some uncertainty in the timing and severity of the system, we want to be sure we are staying in close communication with our isolated residents as it approaches the state.”

Representatives from the Kauai Emergency Management Agency, Kauai Police Department, Kauai Fire Department, Department of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, the state Department of Transportation and the state Department of Land and Natural Resources will be in attendance.
