      Typically, this close to a hurricane, the grocery stores are all ransacked already anyway.

      Hawaii, like Puerto Rico, is subject to a surface shipping monopoly because of the Jones Act (1920)

      However, around 40% of the food grown in Hawaii is grown on the Big Island

      With a single company operating ancient freighters, it’s roughly a 3 day journey for food to be transported to market. So produce is either hardy enough to survive, refrigerated (there is an insufficiency or cold chain infrastructure) or flown. Making local food noncompetitive.

      When does this matter? For example: when you have a hurricane and there’s a run on supplies.

      Last I heard there was a new initiative in Hawaii to improve Hawaii’s supply resiliency. What I think I remember hearing is there ought to be enough emergency supplies for the state for 3 days. Two weeks.. is a lot.

      Anyway, if you would also prefer to be able to reach family members on Maui by cell or landline right now and HOWEVER are finding that phone systems seem to be down, you too can read/refresh about the Jones Act here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marine_Act_of_1920 …
