FYI Email from FC Aloha Valued Forest City Residents, As you’re probably aware, a tropical storm warning is in effect for Oahu. At this time, it is anticipated that the main force of the storm will pass south of Oahu. However, we are still expected to experience powerful winds, heavy rains, and dangerous surf. Please make sure you make any necessary preparations today. Tonight: Remove or secure any items outside your home. Trash collections have been cancelled for Friday, August 8. If Friday is your regular trash collection day, your trash will be collected next week. The schedule for that will be determined after reviewing the developing situation with Hurricane Julio. Trash bins must be placed in the trash bin enclosure (if your home has one), inside your garage, or against the side of your home. No bins may be left along the curb. Make sure your family is prepared in case the storm causes a power outage or water outage. Remember automatic garage door openers will not work if the power is out. Be sure to take a house key with you. Suggested list of emergency items from FEMA. Tomorrow: Forest Citys offices, Maintenance, and Self-Help Warehouse will be open regular hours. Please be aware that operations may be adjusted due to weather conditions. We appreciate your patience. No landscaping work will be done on Friday, August 8. Regularly scheduled work will resume on Saturday, weather permitting. Lawn care work originally scheduled for Friday, will be completed next Friday, weather permitting. Other Useful Information: MCBH recommends that residents shelter in place within their homes. However, if evacuation becomes necessary the MCB Hawaii Enlisted Club ballroom will open as a shelter Thursday, August 7 at 2000. If you evacuate to the shelter you will need to bring your own supplies such as food and water. You can find more information on the Base website or on Facebook. KSSK 92.3 FM and 590 AM are the official civil defense radio stations for Oahu. They have dedicated generators and stay on the air, even during island-wide power outages. The City & County of Honolulu website has information including a listing of public shelters. Note: Civil Defense and the Red Cross recommend sheltering in place unless youre in a flood zone, your home is structurally unsound, or you dont have friends or family you can shelter with. f you do choose to go to a shelter, you need to bring your own blankets, food, water and hygiene items, as shelter officials are only providing a safe place to ride out the storm. At this time, the City and County of Honolulu has not opened any pet-friendly shelters. Kauai County will determine later whether to open shelters. On Oahu, TheBus and Handivan service has been suspended for Friday. Limited buses will run starting at 10 p.m. tonight only to serve as shuttles to official shelters.
