Kauai extends Hurricane Lowell emergency period

Kauaʻi Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami extended the island’s Hurricane Lowell emergency period by 60 days in a proclamation signed Friday. The measure keeps the county’s disaster-area designation in place to support emergency management and recovery. It also ends the suspension of solid-waste disposal fees, which will be reinstated at county landfills and related facilities on Nov. 18.
