Adults and children must use their seat belts and child restraints at all times. The cost of a ticket for not buckling up is currently $102. The child passenger restraint law requires children under 4 years of age to ride in a child safety seat, and children between the ages of 4 and 8 years to ride in either a child safety seat or a booster seat. Violators of this law are required to attend a four-hour class and may be assessed a fine between $100 and $500 depending upon the number of offenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handheld Electronic Devices<\/strong> &#8211; Using mobile electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle is illegal in Hawai\u02bbi. This includes cell phones, mp3 players, personal digital assistants, and navigation devices. The law also prohibits drivers from using hand-held mobile electronic devices when stopped at a red light or stop sign. Additionally, no person under the age of 18 may use a hands-free mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. The fine starts at $297. Violations in school zones or construction areas are subject to a higher amount. The exception is for 9-1-1 emergency calls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helmet Laws<\/strong> &#8211; Motorcycle riders 17 years old and younger must wear a helmet.

They are caused by eruptive processes within the active volcanoes or by deep structural adjustments due to the weight of the islands on Earth&#8217;s underlying crust. Most are so small that they can only be detected by sensitive instruments, known as seismometers. Some are strong enough to be felt on one or more of the islands. Source: USGS<\/p>\n<h3>What to do in the event of a large earthquake:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>If you are inside a building, stay there &#8211; DROP<\/strong> to the floor; take <strong>COVER<\/strong> under a sturdy table or desk; <strong>HOLD ON<\/strong> to your shelter and move with it until the shaking stops. In modern homes, doorways are no stronger than any part of the house. <strong>You are safer under a table.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In school, a high rise, stadium, theatre or a store<\/strong> &#8211; Stay inside. Drop! Cover! Hold On! Avoid windows and other hazards. Do not use elevators. Sprinkler and\/or fire alarms may activate. Do not run outside during an earthquake. In a store, a shopping cart or clothing rack can provide some protection. Get away from heavy items on high shelves. Drop to the ground first and crawl only the shortest distance necessary. Use your best judgment. In a stadium or theatre, stay at your seat or drop to the floor between rows and protect your head and neck with your arms. Don&#8217;t leave until the shaking is over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are outdoors<\/strong> &#8211; Move to a clear area if you can safely do so. Avoid cliffs and road cuts, power lines, trees, signs buildings, vehicles, and other hazards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving<\/strong> &#8211; Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid bridges, power lines, cliffs or road cuts, overpasses, signs, and other hazards. Stay inside your vehicle until the strong shaking is over. If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re at or near the ocean<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; DROP! COVER! HOLD ON!<\/strong> until the strong shaking stops. <strong>THEN<\/strong> quickly walk to higher ground or inland &#8211; until you are at least 100 ft. above sea level, or beyond the marked tsunami hazard zone. Avoid cliffs and watch for falling rocks. Locally generated tsunami have occurred in the past, so move to higher ground.<strong> Do not wait for officials to issue a warning.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re in bed &#8211; stay there.<\/strong> Hold on and protect your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured by staying in bed. Broken glass on the floor has caused injuries to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to a doorway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a wheelchair<\/strong> &#8211; Lock your wheels and remain seated until the shaking stops. Protect your head and neck with your arms, a pillow, a book, or whatever is available.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shakeout.org\/hawaii\/dropcoverholdon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Great Hawai\u02bbi Shake Out<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Volcano Safety and Updates&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;volcano&#8221;][vc_column_text el_id=&#8221;volcano&#8221;]\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/havo\/planyourvisit\/lava2.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hawai\u02bbi Volcanoes National Park<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stay on open trails and roads.<\/strong>\u00a0Closed trails and roads are dangerous, do not enter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stay away from cracks and sinkholes.<\/strong>\u00a0Falls into cracks have seriously injured and killed people.
