Question:

What is the HFD doing to prepare for a PSPS?

Answer:

The HECO expressed a PSPS would be implemented as a last resort.  However, upon learning of the PSPS plan, the City working group added the PSPS as a new component to our respective disaster preparedness plans.  The HFD will continue to collaborate with our partners and stakeholders, including City departments, state and federal agencies, the HECO, and nongovernment entities, such as the HWMO.  Together, we reviewed and analyzed various scenarios of readiness if and when a PSPS is implemented.
