AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoHurricane recovery meets the next test: Hawaii Island residents are still dealing with Hurricane Lala cleanup and power restoration, but now Tropical Storm Moke is expected to pass south this weekend, bringing a Flood Watch and heavy rain (up to 15 inches in spots) plus gusty winds that could worsen outages and flooding risk. Local resilience & utilities: Hawaiian Electric says it expects nearly all Big Island customers back on by Friday, with crews supported by Southern California Edison, while Verizon is staging backup power, mobile/satellite gear, and emergency messaging for another storm cycle. Insurance & claims: The Nature Conservancy’s coral reef insurance paid out for the first time after Lala, triggering a $200,000 payout under a pre-set tropical cyclone parameter; public adjusters are also urging residents to document damage and file claims quickly. Dam safety: HIEMA is warning people near or downstream of Wahiawa Dam to know evacuation routes as reservoir levels are managed and a rehabilitation “Aquadam bladder” is installed to boost spillway capacity. Business/community: Oʻahu’s Good Boy Food for Dogs is expanding from a home-kitchen experiment into a Wahiawa commercial operation, and Kona-area hubs are coordinating supplies as repairs continue.
