During a red-flag warning, residents are urged to avoid risky behavior like campfires or other open flames, smoking or setting off fireworks. The NWS also urges residents to have an evacuation plan, ensure they have a go kit ready in case of an emergency and listen to their local officials for evacuation updates.

The red flag warning has been canceled. Hawaiian Electric is closely monitoring weather conditions as the company urges customers to be prepared for any potential power shutoffs in high-risk areas prone to wildfires.

With Hawaiʻi's latest wildfire red flag warning being issued, people are wondering what this means and what sort of tiered system do we have.
