Hurricane Lowell poses a significant risk to Kauaʻi County, with potential for strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding. Outdoor recreation areas may become hazardous, and emergency rescues could be delayed. Visitors and residents in low-lying or flood-prone areas should be prepared for possible evacuations. The Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative has warned of potential power outages, and the Department of Water has advised residents to store at least one gallon of water per person per day in case of service disruptions. Businesses, including agricultural operations, are encouraged to secure equipment and supplies to minimize damage.
