The Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency has opened a dedicated updates page for Hurricane Nolo, signaling active state monitoring of the storm. Officials are coordinating with the Hawaii Department of Defense to track the hurricane and relay preparedness information to residents across the islands.

The Hawai'i Department of Health announced changes to its deposit beverage container program, which affects the redemption rates paid on bottles and cans returned under the state's recycling scheme. The update touches consumers, retailers and recyclers across the islands, though the department has not detailed the exact rate changes or their timing in the initial announcement.
