MEDIA RELEASE
The Hawaii Police Department has received information that members of the public have been confronting work crews from HELCO that are attempting to restore power to the lower Puna area. HELCO personnel, along with personnel from various County departments, are continuing to address the electrical power and road issues that were caused by Tropical Storm Iselle and will continue to do so until all roads are accessible and electricity has been restored to all island residents. The police department asks residents to remain calm and be patient. Confrontations will only delay these personnel from accomplishing these goals. Mahalo.
