FOR THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS:
Aloha and Welcome to the Beautiful Garden Island of KAUA’I
1. Please Be Good Neighbors. Keep noise to a minimum, especially before 8:00 am and after 9:00 pm. Turn off outdoor lights at night whenever possible. We enjoy our dark nights when the stars are bright and beautiful. Of equal importance, our wildlife can become disoriented at night if lights are too bright.
2. Beach Safety. Be mindful of the surf. Our shorelines face thousands of miles of open ocean. Northern winter storms and southern summer storms can bring us extremely dangerous surf conditions. NEVER turn your back on the ocean – summer or winter. Rogue waves can appear even in calm surf conditions. You can check ocean conditions at www.KauaiExplorer.com/oceanreport. There are lifeguards at Haena Beach Park, Hanalei Pavilion, Lydgate, Poipu Beach Park, Salt Pond and Kekaha. For your family’s safety, we advise that you check with lifeguards before going into the ocean.
3. 911. In case of fire or medical emergency, call 9-1-1. For non-emergency assistance, please call Police Dispatch at 241-1711. The closest emergency treatment center is . The phone number for Wilcox Hospital in Lihue is 808-245-1100.
4. Weather. The island does experience flash flooding during periods of heavy rain. If you must drive in this kind of weather, drive with extreme caution. Severe weather could result in the temporary closing of the main road out of Hanalei. For the most up to the minute Traffic and Weather information, please call 808-241-1725. You can also visit www.NOAA.com While at the house, you are safely on high ground.
5. Disaster Emergencies. On the first business day of each month at 11:45 am, our Civil Defense sirens are tested. However, if you hear these sirens at any other time, please tune to AM radio station KQNG (“KONG”) at AM 570 for real-time reports and instructions. Also, the front of the Kaua’i phone book has emergency, disaster, evacuation and shelter information. Hurricane emergency supplies have been provided and are located in the garage.
6. Emergency Escape Route. In case of fire, the safest escape route is through the door. As soon as safely possible, please call 911.
7. Island Driving Etiquette. Please honor the posted speed limits. Frequently check your rearview mirror. If more than 4 or 5 cars are stacking up behind you, pull completely off to the side of the road and let them pass. This can also help you when driving at night as our dark roads can be confusing. If you are lost, remember that this is a small island and you will find your way soon. Keep driving until you find a safe place to pull over and turn around. Never make a U-turn on the highway. When navigating the one-lane bridges, cross the bridges in groups of 5 or 6 cars at a time. A simple rule of thumb: Drain the lane; if you arrive late – wait. When parking at the beaches, park, or sight-seeing locations be sure to park fully off the street, in assigned or clearly marked parking spaces. If you want to stop to enjoy the scenery, please pull completely off to the side of the road. We hope you will enjoy your stay on our magical island!
