Amended EP to Aid Wildfires on the Island of Kaua'i

HONOLULU - In response to two wildfires that ignited in west Kaua'i on July 11, 2024, Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke, serving as Acting Governor, signed an Emergency Proclamation (EP) today at 1:33 p.m.

This fourteenth proclamation is a supplement to the Emergency Proclamation issued on August 9, 2023, relating to the Lahaina, Kula, and Kohala wildfires.

This proclamation authorizes the Adjutant General to activate the Hawai'i National Guard to deploy state resources, as needed, to aid in fire suppression and protect public health and safety, property, and natural resources.

It also suspends laws that might impede or delay the execution of emergency functions.

A copy of the executed EP is linked and is posted on the Emergency Proclamations page on the Governor's website.
