Flooding can happen suddenly after heavy rain, tropical storms, or dam breaks.
Even shallow or slow-moving water can be dangerous and cause serious damage to homes and roads.
AUW 211 connects Hawai‘i residents with real-time information, shelter locations, and recovery resources before, during, and after a flood.

受影響的社區
Floods can affect anyone in Hawai‘i, but certain people and areas face greater risk:
- Residents in floodplains, low-lying areas, near streams, rivers, or drainages
- Communities near steep terrain where runoff can surge quickly
- Homes built on fill, or without proper drainage or grading
- People with limited mobility, older adults, infants, people with chronic illness, non–English speakers
- Residents without transportation or access to evacuation resources
我可以做哪些準備？
未雨綢繆能挽救生命。. Secure your home and have a plan before a flood happens.
- Build and maintain a flood emergency kit (14 days of water, nonperishable food, meds, flashlight, batteries, radio) — HI-EMA recommends 14 days supply Department of Defense Hawaii
- Understand your property’s flood risk (FEMA flood maps, local county maps)
- Elevate electrical systems, utilities, and appliances above expected flood levels
- Grade landscaping to drain away from structures; install proper gutters, downspouts, and drainage
- Seal basement walls, install sump pumps with backup power (if applicable)
- Create a family emergency plan: meeting points, communication strategy, evacuation routes
- Sign up for county and state flood / weather alert systems (cell alerts, SMS, sirens)
- Ensure your insurance covers flood damage (standard homeowner policy often doesn’t)
我可以去哪裡？
- Designated flood shelters or emergency shelters in your county (check your county civil defense website)
- Higher ground or elevated areas outside flood zones
- Pet-friendly shelters (if offered — confirm with county)
- Emergency transportation or shuttle services provided during evacuations
- 撥打211 (see below) to find the closest shelter or safe location
If Caught in Flood
- Do not walk, swim, or drive through move water (even shallow moving water can knock you off your feet)
- Stay on higher ground or rooftop if forced, and call for rescue if needed
- Avoid contact with floodwater: it may contain sewage, chemicals, debris
- Heed official evacuation orders immediately
- Do not return until authorities say it’s safe
