DRONE OVERFLIGHT SURVEY – NOTICE OVERFLIGHT

SCHEDULED FOR: FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026 @ 9 A.M. (WEATHER PERMITTING)

PURPOSE: DOCUMENT CONDITIONS POST KONA LOW STORM EVENTS

This is to notify area residents of an upcoming drone overflight to be conducted by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) to survey the highlighted stream beds above on Friday, March 27, 2026, weather permitting.

The purpose of this flight is to document current stream conditions following the recent Kona Low storm events.

The highlighted area indicates the planned flight path. This aerial survey will help DHHL document and verify storm runoff for presentation to state and federal agencies as part of ongoing storm-relief project efforts.

All images collected during the flight will be processed and securely stored by DHHL for use on this project. DHHL will comply with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and State of Hawai’i requirements. Efforts will also be made to avoid capturing images of individuals.
