2015 Handbook for Emergency Preparedness

Hawaiian Electric has revised their Handbook for Emergency Preparedness. This year’s version includes updated information about preparing and surviving emergencies like tsunamis and hurricanes.  Power outages from these events could be short, momentary interruptions that merely cause the lights to flicker to major outages lasting for days after a devastating hurricane.

This handbook is available in English, Cantonese, Ilocano, Korean, and Vietnamese.  Please take time to read it.  Click here and download your personal copy.
