During a red-flag warning, residents are urged to avoid risky behavior like campfires or other open flames, smoking or setting off fireworks. The NWS also urges residents to have an evacuation plan, ensure they have a go kit ready in case of an emergency and listen to their local officials for evacuation updates.

With Hawaiʻi's latest wildfire red flag warning being issued, people are wondering what this means and what sort of tiered system do we have.
