DHHL offers prerecorded Kauai update after Hurricane La La forces reschedule

Michael Lowe, with the Information and Community Relations Office at the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), said the agency released a prerecorded community meeting for Kauai after weather and scheduling conflicts prevented a live event. "Due to hurricane La la and the rescheduling of our commission meeting from August 17th and 18th to September 11, Unfortunately, it did not allow us the time to host a live community meeting due to the, residential project lease awards for Kauai scheduled for Saturday, the 12th," he said.

The prerecorded format aims to deliver the same updates residents would have heard in person, including presentations from DHHL staff and invited associations. Lowe said the agency chose a short series of videos to ensure timely information about planning work, land development and Kauai water matters reaches homesteaders and other stakeholders ahead of the commission's new meeting date.
