PSA - Weather Alert

🌧️ Weather Alert for Our Ko'olauloa 'Ohana! 🌧️

Aloha 'Ohana! Another round of rain is headed our way. 🌺

A Kona Low is expected to move through O'ahu this Friday morning — bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and potential hazards on the roads. 🌀

Here's how to stay safe:

🚗 Drive with aloha — slow down and stay alert on wet roads 🏠 Check your property after the storm passes for standing water 🦟 Remove standing water immediately — it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes that can carry disease 🌿 Clear gutters, buckets, planters, and any containers that collect water

Your health and safety are always our priority. If you have any health concerns following the storm, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here for you! 💙

Stay safe, stay dry, and look out for one another. 🤙

PSA: Health Safety

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Here is an important PSA from the DOH. The Hawaii Department of Health and Hawaiian Humane Society are urging residents and recovery workers to monitor for signs of leptospirosis in the aftermath of the Kona low storm floods.

Leptospirosis is a potentially serious bacterial illness that can affect both people and pets. It is caused by Leptospira, which is carried in the urine of infected animals, including rats, mice, mongoose, livestock, and dogs.

PSA: Health Safety

Aloha ‘Ohana!

We have an important Health PSA from our friends at the Department of Health. All of our recent wet weather increases rat lungworm risk. Please protect your 'ohana by eliminating snails, slugs and rats near your home and thoroughly inspecting and rinsing produce.
