Hawaii under state of emergency ahead of Hurricane Kiko
A state of emergency has been issued in Hawaii ahead of possible inclement weather posed by Hurricane Kiko, officials said.
Hawaii’s acting governor, Sylvia Luke, issued the emergency proclamation on Friday afternoon, declaring a state of emergency across the entire state.
“The proclamation activates emergency measures and resources to protect public health, safety and welfare. Tropical storm-force winds, heavy rainfall and high surf associated with Hurricane Kiko could begin affecting portions of the state as early as Monday, September 8, 2025,” the governor’s office said in a press release.
As of Friday, Hurricane Kiko remains a major hurricane located approximately 1,200 miles east-southeast of Hawaii and is forecast to approach the islands as a tropical storm early next week, officials said.
