Mayor Michael Victorino called upon Maui County residents to redouble their efforts to practice health and safety protocols to curb the spread of COVID-19. “It is critically important that now, more than ever, our residents strictly follow safety measures to prevent the spread of this disease,” Mayor Victorino said. “No one wants to see our health care professionals or our hospitals and clinics overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. I ask everyone to wear face masks in public, practice physical distancing and wash their hands to protect ourselves, our friends, our loved ones and especially our vulnerable kupuna.” On Saturday, five new positive cases were reported for Maui County, bringing the county’s total to 146. Maui District Health Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang said the public should expect even more positive cases because of recent, multiple mass exposures creating clusters of cases. He estimated at least 200 people have been exposed to the virus on Maui within the past week. “These have been indoors, outdoors during celebrations and other gatherings,” Dr. Pang said. “COVID-19 can spread very quickly, and it’s transmitted by people who don’t show symptoms. Last month, Maui County was doing pretty well in keeping the number of cases low, but good times lead to bad habits, complacency. You have to stop the spread with good habits.” Dr. Pang refers to the good habits as the six “Ws.” These are: Wear your mask Watch your physical distancing, at least 6 but preferably 10 feet of separation Wash your hands Make sure you’re Well before going out in public Wipe down and clean/disinfect frequently touched surfaces Go out to Wide, open spaces, away from other people “I appeal to the people of Maui County to not be complacent and not let down their guard,” Mayor Victorino said. “Only YOU can prevent the spread of COVID-19!”

Yesterday, 1,843 people arrived in Hawai‘i. During this same time last year approximately 35,000 passengers arrived in Hawai‘i daily, including residents and visitors. The state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started on March 26th for all passengers arriving in Hawai‘i from out of state. This table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state yesterday and does not include interisland travel. This data was collected from the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Mandatory Travel Declaration Form.

Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami’s announces new and amended emergency rules in light of the recent spike in cases across the state. Gov. David Ige has authorized Mayor Kawakami to amend Emergency Rule 13, relating to gatherings, and Rule 6, relating to masks. Additionally, Mayor Kawakami announced new Emergency Rule 14, relating to long-term use of Transient Vacation Rentals (TVRs). Amended Emergency Rule 6 requires that all persons age five and older wear some form of cloth face coverings over their nose and mouth – whether indoors or outdoors – whenever they are with anyone not in their immediate household. There are limited exceptions to this rule, such as while eating or drinking, entering a financial institution, interacting with someone who may rely on lip reading for communication, or when exercising outdoors if physical distancing of at least six feet can be maintained. A person who is unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition or disability must have a medical exemption provided by a medical doctor, advanced practice registered nurse, or doctor of osteopathy. Medical exemptions should not specify the medical condition that precludes the wearing of face coverings. Amended Emergency Rule 13 further restricts indoor gatherings as several recent clusters have been tied to social events. The highest risk of disease transmission occurs while indoors, so indoor gatherings are now limited to a maximum of 10 people. If people must gather they should do so outside. Outdoor gatherings remain at a maximum limit of 100 people. Mask wearing, physical distancing and other CDC guidelines must be maintained during all gatherings. Emergency Rule 13 applies to casual, social gatherings only and does not apply to allowable businesses, operations, or activities. Some transient visitors are stating that they are new residents in an attempt to avoid quarantining at a hotel, as currently required. Irresponsible transient vacation rental operators are creating six month leases, with separate agreements to break the leases early to accommodate transient visitors. Officials have noticed that multiple “new residents” are producing long-term leases at the same address. Emergency Rule 14 addresses this loophole by stating that no transient vacation rental or homestay, as defined by the Kaua‘i County Code, may be designated as a quarantine location for a new resident more than once in any six month period. The property owner, property manager, landlord, tenant, and guest shall each be responsible for ensuring compliance with this rule. Any person violating any rule of the governor or mayor, if convicted, could face a fine of up to $5,000 or a serve up to a year in jail.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell met with staff at the city’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) today to discuss the possible impacts of Hurricane Douglas. O‘ahu residents are asked to prepare for strong winds, dangerous surf, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding over the upcoming weekend. The EOC will switch to a 24 hour schedule on Sunday, July 26. “With a hurricane watch just issued for O‘ahu, all of our residents need to begin planning for the possible impacts from this storm,” said Mayor Caldwell. “It’s so important to have your supplies in place, and know where you plan to stay. This is especially true now, with a record number of COVID-19 cases on O‘ahu.” EVACUATION Be prepared to evacuate if ordered to do so, especially if you live in: o If you live in a coastal storm surge hazard zone. As the storm approaches, officials will provide clearer guidance on storm surge evacuation zones. o Flood prone areas. (http://gis.hawaiinfip.org/FHAT/) o Older homes (built pre-1995) on exposed ridgelines and on mountain slopes. o Older “plantation” style single wall homes without foundations and pier and post foundations regardless of where they are located. Where should I go if I evacuate? Go to the homes of friends or relatives whose residence are not endangered, to facilities provided by your employer or church group, or as a last resort to a public shelter. Please note that shelters will not be opened automatically. Monitor local TV and radio for specific shelter locations and opening schedules. Be aware that steel reinforced concrete buildings should provide adequate protection. If your building is multiple floors and / or is located in the coastal evacuation zone seek safety by moving to higher floors. Search out enclosed rooms, hallways, or emergency stairwells that have load-bearing walls and no windows. If you do not have any other options, evacuate to the nearest hurricane evacuation shelter. While hurricane evacuation shelters offer some protection from high winds, flying debris, storm surge and flooding, they are intended to be a last resort option for residents and visitors without safer options to use - at their own risk. In almost all cases, the identified hurricane evacuation shelters HAVE NOT been designed or hardened for winds greater than a tropical storm. These shelters are, however, a safer option than remaining in areas prone to flooding, storm surge inundation, or in older homes with wood frames or single wall construction. Evacuees should not expect personal care attendants or caregivers to be available at evacuation shelters. Only general assistance and accommodations will be provided. In addition, evacuation shelters DO NOT stock supplies. You must bring with you as much of your 14-Day Disaster Supply Kit as possible which includes food, water, medications, clothes, bedding, air mattresses/cots, and other emergency supplies. Due to COVID-19, please bring face coverings, detergent to wash them, hand sanitizer, and other sanitation products. Household pets entering shelters must be securely leashed, or in a pet carrier/cage for safety. Owners must provide water and food for their pets, and will be expected to assist in the care of their animals. COVID-19 Update: Please remember that in this moment the storm is the most immediate threat to your safety. Although the risk of contracting COVID-19 is still prevalent within our community, staying in your unsafe home poses a greater danger to your life. Please consider evacuating to friends or family first, and as a last resort, a hurricane evacuation shelter. All public shelters will be instituting medical screening (temperature and wellness checks) upon check-in as well as applying social distancing standards to ensure the shelter is as safe as possible for evacuees as well as shelter operations staff. SHELTERS: The following list are the Oahu evacuation shelters for Hurricane Douglas. Although all shelters will accept pets, seven shelters on this list will be staffed by volunteers with the Hawaiian Humane Society. Shelter operations will begin at 9 a.m. on Sunday, July 26. Individuals will be required to wear masks at all times during their stay at the respective shelter locations. Exceptions will be made for those with medical conditions. While evacuation shelters offer some protection from high winds and flying debris, they are intended to be a last resort option for residents to use at their own risk. In almost all cases, the identified evacuation shelters HAVE NOT been designed or hardened for winds greater than a tropical storm (39 mph). These shelters are, however, a safer option than remaining in areas prone to flooding or storm surge inundation, on exposed ridge lines, or in older homes with wood frames or single wall construction. Whenever possible, the public should plan to shelter in place or stay with family or friends in homes outside of these hazard areas that were designed, built, or renovated to withstand anticipated conditions. 768-CITY If anyone has questions about closures or city services, they are asked to visit oneoahu.org or call 768-CITY (2489). The call center will be open till 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 24. Then on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26 from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. BUS SCHEDULE: The Cityʻs Department of Transportation Services is continuing to monitor Douglasʻ predicted path and windspeed for Oʻahu for the safety of our public transit operations. In light of the track of the storm, TheBus will be curtailing service at noon on Sunday. We advise people to plan accordingly and end their travels well before noon if they can. While the Bus continues to operate we encourage Oʻahu residents to stay home and limit travel to essential trips only. The City will continue to monitor the weather and may make adjustments to service times as more information becomes available. The most up-to-date and current TheBus and TheHandi-Van system status can be found at the top of the page at www.thebus.org and on DTSʻ Twitter @hnldts. HFD Expect wet and slippery conditions on all hiking trails, and high, dangerous surf conditions. The public is advised to refrain from hiking, ocean, and other outdoor activities that could require HFD personnel to rescue them. Please advise the public not to call Fire Stations directly for information. Please to the City hotline, 768-CITY (2489). STREET USAGE PERMITS Holders of Street Usage Permits on city roads should prepare to remove unsecured traffic controls from permitted sites as practicable. The Department of Transportation Services (DTS) is contacting permit holders to advise them on required specific measures for the safety of the public, including the removals of Best Management Practices (BMP) equipment to aid in the drainage of potential storm water. For any questions related to Street Usage Permits, please call DTS Street Usage at (808) 768-8387. CONTRAFLOW SUSPENDED On Monday the City Department of Facility Maintenance will be suspending contraflow coning operations. This will affect the a.m. Kalanianaole Hwy contraflow, along with Kapi‘olani/Ward Ave and p.m. Kapi‘olani contraflow coning operations. TRASH PICKUP: Trash pickup (manual and 3-cart collection system) and all bulky pickup is canceled for Monday, July 27. All refuse convenience centers, transfer stations and Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill will be closed on Sunday, July 26 and Monday, July 27. HOMELESS OUTREACH PLAN: Homeless service providers have been doing outreach for the past few days to unsheltered clients especially in low-lying areas. We are working closely with shelter providers and Partners in Care to ensure transportation to evacuation shelters if needed. DEPARTMENT OF PARK AND RECREATION: All City beach parks are closed on Sunday, July 26. Further closure may be necessary depending on the updated forecast for Hurricane Douglas. The Summer Fun Program is canceled for Monday, July 27. Further cancellation may be necessary depending on the updated forecast for Hurricane Douglas. City camping permits are canceled from Friday, July 24 through Wednesday, July 29. The following will be closed on Sunday, July 26 and Monday, July 27: all permitted park events and activities (picnics, sports events, competitions, etc.), the five Honolulu Botanical Gardens, City pools, People’s Open Markets, and the Koko Head Shooting Complex. CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU EMPLOYEES: City and County employees will report to work as usual. ZOO AND GOLF COURSES: The Zoo and all golf courses be closed on Sunday and Monday. KALĀKAUA OPEN STREET SUNDAY: Kalākaua Open Street, which was originally scheduled for Sunday, July 26, has been canceled. STREAM CLEANING: The Department of Facility Maintenance continues to clear streams and stream mouths across Oʻahu to minimize potential storm related impacts from Hurricane Douglas and forecasted heavy rain. On Thursday, July 23, 2020, DFM crews opened stream mouths at Kapakahi Stream and the Wai‘alae Major Drain. On Friday, July 24, DFM crews worked on: 1. ‘Ewa Lined Channel 2. Pokā‘i Bay Drainage Ditches 3. Ulehawa Stream 3. Ka‘elepulu Stream In certain instances, stream mouths are cleared of sand and debris, but flooding may be influenced by other factors such as high tides, heavy rainfall exceeding the capacity of drain pipes and ditches, or roads and bridges clogged with flowing mud, debris, and tree limbs. In addition, the city does not have access to all parts of streams from the ocean to the back of valleys, which in some cases are inaccessible or on private property. Residents are advised to secure any loose items outside their homes (including garbage cans and outdoor furniture) as these items may be blown into flowing water and ultimately contribute to localized flooding. Hurricane Information: Residents and visitors can track Hurricane Douglas directly by visiting the Central Pacific Hurricane Center website at: nhc.noaa.gov/?cpac. Information can also be found at honolulu.gov/dem. Disaster Preparedness: Take the time now to consider basic disaster preparedness and what actions you or your family will take in the event a hurricane threatens O‘ahu. Individuals, families and businesses should be prepared to be on their own for at least 14-days. Assemble basic supplies such as food, water, clothing, non-medical grade face coverings, sanitizing supplies, and important medications for a 14-day kit. Also, visit our website at http://www.honolulu.gov/dem for more disaster preparedness information and to access downloadable information sheets. Evacuation Zones: Be aware that if you live on the shoreline or near the ocean you may have to evacuate due to the hazard of hurricane produced storm surge. Review coastal evacuation maps in your telephone white pages or visit our web site at http://www.honolulu.gov/dem and follow the instructions on the Tsunami Map Viewer to quickly see if you are in a tsunami/hurricane evacuation zone. Emergency Alert System (EAS): Important official emergency information such as evacuation notification and shelter locations will be broadcast over all TV and radio stations statewide using the EAS. Should your power go out during an emergency such as a hurricane, it then becomes vitally important that each household have a battery operated radio and spare batteries on hand to receive emergency information. Newer hand-crank generator or solar powered radios are also a good option. EAS broadcasts for major coastal evacuations will be aired in conjunction with a three-minute sounding of all Outdoor Siren Warning Systems on O‘ahu. Emergency and Community Information via Social Media/Online: Like and Follow the Department of Emergency Management on Twitter at @Oahu_DEM and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/OahuDEM. Additional preparedness information can also be found on our website at www.honolulu.gov/DEM. Residents are also urged to follow Mayor Caldwell’s social media channels at: Twitter: @MayorKirkHNL; Facebook: facebook.com/MayorKirk; and Instagram: instagram.com/mayorkirkhnl; Emergency Email and Text Message Alerts: O‘ahu residents are encouraged to sign-up to receive emergency email, cellphone text messages and push alerts from the City and County of Honolulu by downloading the free HNL.info app from the App Store or Google Play. Preparing your home: Protect your property. De-clutter drains and gutters. Consider emergency shutters. Review insurance policies. Be prepared to bring loose, lightweight objects inside that could become projectiles in high winds (e.g., patio furniture, garbage cans); anchor objects that would be unsafe to bring inside (e.g., propane tanks); and trim or remove trees close enough to fall on the building. Be prepared to cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for windows. A second option is to board up windows with 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to install. Check insurance policies: Remember that homeowners insurance alone will not cover hurricane damage. You will need separate policies for hurricane as well as flood insurance to protect against damage from coastal flooding. You can buy flood insurance separately through the National Flood Insurance Program. Make sure to check and know what your existing insurance policies will or will not cover. Non-English Speakers and Disabled: If you have a family member who does not speak English or a family member who, due to a disability cannot receive emergency information readily, we highly recommend forming a core group of family or friends who can assist with translations or providing important emergency information as well as assisting with disaster preparedness actions and if needed, evacuation Hurricanes and Tropical Storms: Once a storm system crosses the 140-degree west longitude mark, it enters the Central Pacific area and would be in “Hawaiian” waters. Carefully monitor any hurricanes or tropical storms that develop or enter into Hawaiian waters until they safely pass our islands or dissipate.

Third consecutive day of record COVID-19 cases Hundreds in Quarantine or Isolation Affirm Shelter-in-Place Plans As Tropical Cyclone Douglas approaches, across the state 625 people, currently in isolation or quarantine due to exposure to someone or being positive for COVID-19, have affirmed they will shelter-in-place. With record new cases today, it’s expected the number of people in isolation or quarantine will rise by the end of the day. The Hawaii Department of Health contacted these individuals yesterday and at that time, they indicated they do not intend to seek accommodations at a public shelter. Today, DOH reports a new single-day record case count of 73, again with the majority of the cases on O‘ahu (68), and five (5) on Maui. www.hawaiicovid19.com State Health Director Dr. Bruce Anderson said, “Thursday’s, Friday’s, and today’s numbers demonstrate the relaxation of safe practices from the 4th of July, particularly on O‘ahu, may have been one primary reason for these daily new records. We’re beginning to see more cases among younger to middle-age adults; many who relay stories of attending gatherings, parties, events, or socializing at bars.” State Epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park added, “Multiple household clusters and other clusters are associated with social interactions like 4th of July gatherings, birthday parties, televised sports events, religious functions, work meetings, and funeral events. Our investigations and contact tracing show in many of these settings people have relaxed their physical distancing and use of facial coverings.” While the percent of positive coronavirus in the state seems to be stable, the curve is very gradually increasing because of the positivity rate in Honolulu. Dr. Park explained, “This means the rate of new cases, particularly on O‘ahu, is greater than the rate of increased testing that is occurring.” However, due to the approaching storm, the DOH State Laboratories Division will not be conducting COVID-19 testing on Sunday. Testing is expected to resume late Monday or on Tuesday. The DOH State Laboratories Division has been testing specimens for one of the clinical labs because of a reagent supply shortage. The State Laboratories Division also regularly tests specimens from investigations and sentinel surveillance. Dr. Anderson concluded, “There are already calls for re-instituting restrictions and given this concerning trend. We are closely monitoring the situation, evaluating exposure risks, and currently in discussions on going back to previous restrictions on activities.”

The County of Maui, Department of Transportation announces the suspension of transportation services starting Sunday, July 26, due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Douglas. The Maui Bus Fixed Route, Paratransit, Commuter and Human Services Transportation services will all be suspended starting tomorrow.

A Hurricane Warning has been issued for Oahu. A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within 36 hours. Hawaii County and Maui County remain under a Tropical Storm Warning (and a Hurricane “watch”). Kauai is only under a tropical storm watch. 5-10 inches of rain are expected on Maui County, Oahu and Kauai, only 2-5 inches on Hawaii Island. From NWS: On the forecast track, Douglas will be near the main Hawaiian Islands late tonight and will move over parts of the state Sunday and Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is expected through the weekend. However, Douglas is still forecast to be near hurricane strength when it nears the islands. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 110 miles. HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected on Oahu on Sunday and Sunday night. Tropical Storm conditions are expected across Hawaii County and Maui County beginning late tonight or Sunday. Tropical Storm conditions are possible across Kauai County late Sunday. SURF: Large swells generated by Douglas are expected to affect the Hawaiian Islands during the next couple of days, and storm surge of 2 to 4 feet above normal tides is expected near the center of Douglas. The large swells and surge will produce life threatening and potentially destructive surf along exposed shores. RAINFALL: Heavy rainfall associated with Douglas is expected to affect portions of the main Hawaiian Islands from late tonight through Monday. Total rain accumulations of 5 to 10 inches are possible from Maui County westward to Kauai County, with the greatest amounts in elevated terrain. This rain may result in life-threatening flash flooding and land slides, as well as rapid water level rises on small streams. Douglas is expected to produce 2 to 5 inches of rainfall over the northern half of the Big Island.

Mayor Michael Victorino issued an emergency proclamation today as Hurricane Douglas approaches the Hawaiian Islands, bringing expected tropical storm-force winds, flash flooding and high surf. The proclamation was coordinated with the Governor’s Office and gives the County of Maui the ability to take necessary, quick action to respond to emergency situations. On Friday afternoon, forecasters predict tropical storm-force winds of 39 to 73 mph, with a 59 percent probability for Hana, 58 percent for Kahului, 53 percent for Lāna‘i City and 60 percent for Kaunakakai. “We need to take the strength of this storm very seriously and prepare for strong winds, flash flooding and high surf,” Mayor Victorino said. “My top priority is the health and safety of our residents, and everyone needs to keep a wary eye on Douglas.” Beginning Saturday, all County of Maui facilities, including County parks, pools and the Waiehu Golf Course will be closed until further notice. Reservations for pool use have been canceled. Everyone should clear their yards, secure loose objects and prepare a 14-day emergency kit of food, water and supplies. Also, please prepare an emergency plan and stay informed from reliable sources of information. The County is working with the American Red Cross to provide emergency shelters for people in Maui, Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i

Mayor signs emergency proclamation in anticipation of Hurricane Douglas; Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency prepares ahead of storm Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami has signed an emergency proclamation on July 24, 2020, for the County of Kaua‘i, in preparation for possible impacts from Hurricane Douglas. The proclamation authorizes preemptive and protective action and relief for disaster-related damages, losses, and suffering in order to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Kaua‘i. The Mayor’s proclamation follows Gov. David Ige’s announcement on Thursday of a pre-landfall emergency proclamation issued for the state of Hawai‘i. Officials are encouraging all residents and visitors to begin precautionary measures and to stay closely informed as the storm approaches the state. “We are closely monitoring Hurricane Douglas, and although we are not yet in a Watch or Warning, we are reminding everyone to remain vigilant and to start preparing now,” said Mayor Kawakami. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Kaua‘i County could feel effects of the storm starting as early as Sunday afternoon, but forecast uncertainty remains high at this time. To view a copy of the Mayor’s emergency proclamation, visit www.kauai.gov/kema.

Senate President Ronald D. Kouchi (Kauai, Niihau) and House Representative James Kunane Tokioka (Wailua Homesteads, Hanamaulu, Līhu‘e, Puhi, Old Kōloa Town, ʻŌmaʻo) shared concerns brought to their attention by their constituents with schools Superintendent Cristina Kishimoto regarding the reopening of public schools. Kaua‘i constituents were primarily concerned about the lack of information provided by the Department of Education relating to statewide teaching protocols, and health and safety policies and procedures that minimally must be followed once schools are reopened on August 4, 2020. Some of the concerns are: Spacing in classroom - Even without all students in the classroom, is it possible to keep within the 6 foot by 3 foot guideline? What is being done to ensure there is proper ventilation of the classrooms? Who would provide oversight for recess/cafeteria supervision? Online learning training for teachers. Some teachers do not feel that they are prepared and trained to teach online. What would the priority standards be and how would teachers be able to grade report cards? Conducting appropriate pandemic cleaning and sanitizing without additional staffing. What is the plan to address absent staffing issues if teachers, custodians and support staff do not show up to work due to fears of the pandemic and insufficient reopening plans? Is it possible to delay the reopening of schools until minimum statewide safety criteria are developed and met while ensuring our students receive their legally required number of instructional days? “One thing we all agree on is teachers want to teach and parents want to send their children to school, however, we have to find a way to ensure the safety of all of our students, teachers, staff and ohana,” said Rep. Tokioka. Senate President Kouchi said, “while we are fortunate that the Kaua‘i Educational Pilot Program provided a jump start on remote instruction, it is imperative to establish and communicate clear minimal statewide policies and procedures to ensure the health and welfare of students, families, faculty and staff.” According to the state Department of Education, public schools will reopen Aug. 4 with new protocols and a mix of traditional in-school instruction and distance learning in a move to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) Highways Division continues to prepare for the potential effects of Hurricane Douglas by clearing drains in areas known to be impacted in past weather events, ordering contractors to pull BMP (e.g., devices to filter stormwater on job sites) and secure electronic boards and other items that may pose hazards in high winds, and confirming emergency contacts for damage surveys and response. Weekend roadwork for Hawaii Island and Maui and roadwork scheduled for Oahu on Sunday, July 26 has been canceled in advance of Douglas. For the traveling public, HDOT reminds road users to stay off the roads during the storm unless necessary. HDOT expects impacts to state routes in the following areas but cautions that the storm track may change and impact other locations. Hawaii Island Hawaii Belt Road (Route 19) in Hamakua. Maui Hana Highway (Route 36) is expected to receive significant wave and wind action. Motorists are cautioned that the road is susceptible to landslides and fallen trees. Should motorists encounter a road obstruction they are encouraged to report it via 9-1-1 and not throw debris off the side of cliffs. Oahu Kamehameha Highway (Route 83) in Waihole, Waikane, Hauula, Kaaawa and on the north shore. Kauai Kuhio Highway (Route 56/560) on Kauai’s north shore and at the Hanalei Bridge are traditionally impacted by flooding. The public is encouraged to sign up for local notification systems for notice of emergency road closures during Douglas.
