HONOLULU, Nov. 11, 2026 - Hawaiian Electric did not need to initiate a Public Safety Power Shutoff today but continues to monitor weather conditions overnight in areas of Maui and Hawaii Island with high exposure to wildfire risk. Customers in PSPS areas should remain prepared for the possibility of evening and overnight outages should conditions worsen.

Decisions related to a PSPS are based on a combination of factors, including drought conditions, wind speeds, humidity levels and wildfire risk. The company uses information from weather stations and cameras to assess changing conditions and inform decisions.

On Maui, weather conditions are being most closely monitored on the Westside, Maalaea, Upcountry and parts of Puunene, Pulehu, and Omaopio, and the South Kohala area on Hawaii Island. A National Weather Service wind advisory remains in effect for Maui County and Hawaii Island through 6 a.m. Thursday.

For more information and to sign up to receive emergency outage alerts, call Hawaiian Electric's PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or visit hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.
