Emergency Shelter

The City and County of Honolulu Department of Emergency Management offers emergency evacuation shelters. If possible, the Department of Emergency Management recommends that you shelter in place. However, if the shelters are activated, information about the Waikiki shelter is broadcast over local media and official social media sites during an emergency. If you do chose to evacuate to the emergency shelter, bring a three-day supply of food, water, clothing, medication, personal hygiene items, and a mat or cot for sleeping, since the shelters are not stocked with supplies.
