Hawaii State Evacuation Shelters

You can find a list of shelters and if they are pet friendly and Special Needs Shelters at this link.

Not all shelters will be open so listen to the Radio for information.

How to determine if you should shelter-in-place (at home) or evacuate (to a hurricane evacuation shelter):

1,  If you live near the coastline, near rivers and stream beds, or on the mountain ridge line, you should evacuate
2.  If your house was built before 1993 and is constructed of wood, you should evacuate
3.  If you live in a house constructed after 1993 and have an interior room on a lower floor, with no windows (closet, bathroom) you should shelter-in-place

Shelter-in-place:

1.  If you meet the above criteria you should consider sheltering-in-place from the storm
2.  Stay on the lowest floor possible, and look for a closet, bathroom, or other room with no windows on the interior of your house or apartment
3.  Bring your food, pets, family, and preparedness supplies into the room and remain in there
4.  Take your radio with you so you know when conditions have improved enough for you to leave your sheltering room
