The Ka‘ū District remains one of the hardest-hit areas, with ongoing challenges in restoring power, water, and road access. Approximately 4,600 Hawaiian Electric customers are still without power, including critical facilities like Ka‘ū Hospital, which is operating on a generator. Damaged infrastructure, such as Highway 11, has created detours and single-lane traffic in some areas. While Tropical Storm Moke did not exacerbate the situation, the community continues to face significant recovery hurdles. Residents are advised to limit non-essential travel to avoid interfering with recovery operations.
