What an important day for @HawaiiAthletics.

A new economic impact study confirms what we have long known: beyond the pride our Rainbows bring and the way UH athletics unites our communities, it also makes a significant contribution to our state's economy.

Last night, the state experienced varying levels of rainfall with totals ranging from less than 1 inch in certain parts of O’ahu to over 3 inches in Moloka‘i causing flooding and school closures.

We are prepositioning National Guard and HECO will be avaliable to handle any possible power outages.

Over the next 24 hours expect moderate to heavy rainfall with the potential of gusty winds within thunderstorms. Remnant moisture is expected through Friday so please remain cautious, and don’t drive through deep water.

Heavy rain, thunderstorms and flash flood potential across the state will build this afternoon, especially for Oʻahu and Maui Nui, likely peaking overnight and through most of the day tomorrow.
The central Hawaiian Islands of Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Maui could see up to 8 alized storms, 1 to 2 inches for Kauaʻi, and 2 to 4 inches for the Big Island. These localized storms could also produce gusty, damaging winds in isolated areas.
Be aware of flash flooding potential, especially if you live near a stream, mountain valley or urban paved area where runoff and flooding is likely.
Make sure you are receiving emergency alerts in case flash flood warnings are issued. Sign up at ready.hawaii.gov/alerts.
Find weather updates and warnings at weather.gov/hfo.

With the incoming October Heavy Rains, we are anticipating showers to start this afternoon. Heavy rains and thunderstorms capable of producing flash flooding statewide are possible and those systems will be most concentrated over O’ahu and Maui County.

Through Wednesday, we will be seeing variable rains between 1 to 8 inches statewide along with gusty winds within thunderstorms. The threat may be diminished on Thursday and Friday.

Be safe on the roads and remain vigilant over the course of the week as we continue to monitor the anticipated incoming weather.

Completed ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. on November 3 by your County Elections Division to be counted! Happy voting!

The 2026 policy book concludes with a personal message from Governor Green.

Our vision for the future of these islands must be shaped by aloha and built by community. We have a kuleana to build a strong foundation so everyone can live and thrive in Hawai‘i.

Mahalo to everyone who made these projects possible because having a safe, stable and affordable place to live is fundamental for our well-being and quality of life.

Kaleima‘o Village provides 126 income-restricted homes for working families and provides amenities such as a community center, playground and garden. The first residents are expected to move in this month and full occupancy is targeted for April 2027.

Ho‘ohiki delivers 249 affordable senior rental units to allow our kūpuna to remain in the communities they call home. This grand opening represents the beginning of a new community that allows Hawai‘i’s kūpuna to age with dignity, stability and a sense of belonging.

This week, we celebrated the blessings of two new affordable housing developments for the people of Hawai‘i. Affordable Housing remains one of Governor Green’s top priorities as too many people are struggling to find a home they can afford.

Mahalo to the Office of Enterprise Technology Services for protecting the public and for keeping our state safe from cyber security threats.

He also expressed the importance of not only keeping our software updated, but also modernized, so we can continue to protect our data in a safe way.

Education and awareness regarding cybersecurity is crucial in order to protect everyone from attacks such as phishing and scams which are becoming more sophisticated by the day.
