Mayor Bernard Carvalho reminds public of emergency proclamation, rule
Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. has issued the following statement in regards to the
emergency proclamation and rule in effect for the County of Kauai.
"The safety of our residents in the affected areas of Wainiha and H5'ena continues to be
of the utmost priority. I want to remind everyone that due to emergency roadwork repairs on K0hi6
Highway from Waikoko to Wainiha, the current emergency proclamation and rule is necessary for
the well-being of our entire community.
"Based upon Hawaii Department of Transportation's most recent updated timeline that
roadwork will continue through October, it is my intention to continue the emergency rule — which
limits access to residents and authorized vehicles only — until the highway is deemed safe for
normal travel.
"Mahalo to the people of Kauai as well as our visitors for your continued patience,
understanding and aloha while we as a community remain committed to the recovery of our
renowned North Shore."
