Meteorological projections indicate that Hurricane Lala could deliver up to 63 centimetres of rainfall to Big Island. This substantial precipitation poses significant risks of widespread flooding and landslides, prompting local authorities to issue urgent preparedness advisories.

Residents across the Hawaiian islands have been advised to secure properties, prepare emergency kits, and stay informed of official updates. The last direct hurricane hit on Hawaii occurred in 1990, underscoring the unusual nature and potential severity of Lala's anticipated arrival.
