Power Restored in Kalaupapa, Molokai; Patients and Staff to Return Next Week

Power Restored in Kalaupapa, Molokai; Patients and Staff to Return Next Week

Power has been successfully restored in Kalaupapa, Molokai, following an outage caused by Hurricane Nolo. State health officials are now coordinating the return of two Hansen's disease patients and approximately 50 staff members to the settlement by next week. The community had been displaced since September 11 due to persistent issues with a malfunctioning water pump, which led to an initial evacuation. Although the water system had been fixed, a subsequent power outage on Sunday further delayed their return. Hawaiian Electric assisted the National Park Service (NPS) with repairs to a damaged power line along the Kalaupapa Pali, providing personnel, equipment, and helicopter support to address the conductor damage. The NPS owns and maintains the electrical system in Kalaupapa and coordinated the repair efforts, including securing access to the damaged line from a private property owner.
