If Kiko does make landfall with Hawaii, it would certainly be a rare occasion, with the islands seeing just two hurricanes since 1950, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s historical hurricane path tracker reports.
People in Hawaii are being told to ‘prepare’, by gathering supplies and learning their evacuation routes.
“For any disaster, people need to be able to access a plan… recognise their vulnerabilities, where they live, work,” Talmadge Magno of the Hawaii County Civil Defense told Khon2 News.
“The second thing is to receive emergency alerts, they need to sign up for our Everbridge program.”
Hurricane season in the region lasts until the end of November.
