For those who are Kupuna and Keiki
The elderly and children are advised not to go into the area, although it is understood that some senior citizens may choose to return.
Those who are Pregnant
While you may want to include all family members in the delicate, sensitive return to your property, health officials recommend that children and pregnant people should not enter the impacted area or help with cleanup because they are at higher risk from debris hazards. After leaving the impacted area, it is also best practice to shower before being in contact with sensitive groups like keiki, pregnant people, people with asthma or COPD, and kupuna.
