After last year’s big flood and hurricane damage, two local communities are finding their footing with disaster plans tailored for their areas.

Kilauea didn’t just stop spewing lava. It ceased emissions that have been constant since 1983.

A new estimate finds nearly 4,000 families would have been displaced, mostly those living in wooden-frame houses built before the stronger 1995 building regulations.

Walaka is expected to continue weakening as it veers southwest of the atolls.

UPDATED: Heavy rains had raised the reservoir level to within about 1.5 feet below the spillway, causing officials to consider evacuations.

UPDATED: Oahu’s shelters go mostly unused, and no widespread damage has been reported despite heavy rainfall.

UPDATED: Hawaii is no longer under a tropical storm warning, although the storm is still dumping rain.

UPDATED: The entire state is now under a tropical storm warning as leaders encourage residents to be on guard.

UPDATED: Warnings are also in effect for Maui County and the Big Island, and a storm watch is now in effect for Kauai.

UPDATED: It’s currently a Category 4 storm, although it’s expected to weaken before nearing the islands next week.

It’s the first death attributed to Lane, a onetime hurricane that has deluged Kauai after skirting past the islands.

UPDATED: The Kuhio Highway is closed near Hanalei, where business activity has come to a standstill. Sound familiar?
