The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) issues tropical cyclone warnings, watches, advisories, discussions, and statements for all tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific from 140 Degrees West Longitude to the International Dateline. The season officially begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. However, tropical cyclones can occur at any time. The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Honolulu activates the CPHC when: (1) a tropical cyclone moves into the Central Pacific from the Eastern Pacific, (2) a tropical cyclone forms in the Central Pacific, or (3) a tropical cyclone moves into the Central Pacific from the West.
A Hurricane Preparedness Tip from CPHC:

In September 1992, Hurricane Iniki caused 6 storm related deaths, with an estimated 2.4 billion dollars in damage, mostly to the island of Kauai.

On average, 4-5 tropical cyclones per year pass through the central Pacific. In case this is the year that another hurricane strikes, do some advanced planning, and be prepared.
