Rev. May 6, 2019 <br />This is a Civil Defense message. <br />This is a Flood Advisory message for Sunday afternoon, March 1. <br />The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory for North Kohala, Hamakua <br />and Hilo Districts through this evening. One to two inches of rain per hour is forecast for <br />the next several hours. <br />A Flood Advisory means localized flooding may occur. <br />Due to the Flood Advisory, the following are issued: <br />• Stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding. <br />• Rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding, <br />reduced visibility and poor braking action. <br />• Be aware that road closures may occur without notice. <br />• Do not attempt to cross flowing water; turn around don't drown. <br />• Be on the alert for malfunctioning traffic signals. Please treat flashing traffic lights as a <br />four-way stop. <br />Stay tuned to your radio for updates and changes in conditions. <br />Thank you for listening. <br />This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency. <br />
