AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoHurricane Lowell Watch: Hawaii is in a state of emergency as Category 4 Lowell (150 mph) churns toward the western islands, with officials warning that a track shift of less than 100 miles could mean more direct impacts—especially for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau—bringing rough seas, coastal flooding, and dangerous rip currents. Local Preparedness: Kaua‘i is clearing drainage, staging equipment, and closing some parks to camping; the state is urging 14 days of supplies and activating National Guard resources. O‘ahu Monitoring: Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi says the latest forecasts are “encouraging” for O‘ahu, but residents shouldn’t tune out as watches are expected for parts of the state. Travel Costs: Federal per diem rates for official travel rise slightly in 2027, with lodging up $3 starting Oct. 1. Airline Moves: Southwest is rolling out its first airport lounges, including Honolulu, as it expands premium amenities across select U.S. airports. Tourism Angle: A “rebirth” story highlights Hawaii’s first beachfront resort, Moana Surfrider, celebrating 125 years after a major refurbishment.
