Have You Checked Your Lanai?

According to the National Weather Service, there is a high wind warning for Oahu this weekend.  Whenever the weather forecast calls for strong winds, you’ll want to bring in any loose items on your lanai.  If an item falls or is blown off your lanai, it could damage property or hurt someone.   If you have awnings (rolling shutters), you may want to close them before the strong winds are expected to arrive, not just for others, but for your own safety.

There are limited items that may be kept on your lanai when it’s not windy.  Only appropriate  furniture specifically manufactured for outdoor use.  Potted plants may also be kept on lanais so long as they are maintained.   Absolutely no other items may be kept, maintained or stored on lanais.  This prohibition includes, but is not limited to other types of furniture, storage bins or boxes, trash bags or receptacles, garbage, bicycles, skateboards, surfboards, toys, etc.   Avoid being fined for prohibited items.
