The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa kicked off the fall 2026 semester with a two-day orientation attended by 2,410 new students.

This activity comes after Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park announced that some areas have reopened after they were closed due to damage following Hurricane Lala on Aug. 15.

"It appears the storm (Moke) weakened enough and pulled south enough that we didn't see any significant impacts," said Darryl Oliveira, acting administrator of the Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency.

Relief efforts continue following destruction on the Big Island caused by Hurricane Lala a week ago as portions of the island still do not have water or electricity.

Drinking water tanks have been stationed in the area until service is restored.
