Emergency tips from civil defense

Advertiser Staff

Until electricity is restored to the entire island, O'ahu Civisil Defense is asking residents to observe the following emergency measures:

i Do not call 911 unless you have a life-threatening emergency.

i Use land-line and cell phones only for emergencies. Keep lines clear for emergency calls.

i Travel only in an emergency. Treat intersections lacking traffic signals as a four-way stop.

i Use water only for essential needs. The power outage has affected pumping capability.

i Listen to the radio for updates.
