During a red-flag warning, residents are urged to avoid risky behavior like campfires or other open flames, smoking or setting off fireworks. The NWS also urges residents to have an evacuation plan, ensure they have a go kit ready in case of an emergency and listen to their local officials for evacuation updates.

Red flag warnings are in effect for much of the state as the latest seasonal outlook predicts higher-than-normal fire activity through August.

The red flag warning has been canceled. Hawaiian Electric is closely monitoring weather conditions as the company urges customers to be prepared for any potential power shutoffs in high-risk areas prone to wildfires.
