If weather conditions intensify in the next 24 to 48 hours, Hawaiian Electric may proactively shut off power in communities with high exposure to wildfire risk. During this safety power shutoff watch period, HECO is urging customers on Maui and Hawaiʻi Island to initiate their own emergency plans and prepare for the possibility of extended power outages.“A watch doesn’t mean we will shut off power, only that we are monitoring it closely in areas at the highest risk for wildfires,” Jim Alberts, Hawaiian Electric senior vice president and chief operations officer, said. “While we hope shutting off power won’t be necessary, we have to take this threat seriously and we urge our customers to be prepared and stay informed.”Outages that are not related to the company’s PSPS program could still occur due to high winds and other conditions. Should these outages occur at night, HECO officials say power will remain off until crews can inspect lines and equipment in the area as well las make any repairs if needed.For more information and maps, call Hawaiian Electric’s PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.</div></body>
