Why are people told to stay indoors?

Officials urged Hawaii residents to stay indoors during Hurricane Lala. This advice is crucial for safety during extreme weather. High winds can turn debris into dangerous projectiles, and flooded roads can hide hazards or become impassable. Staying indoors minimises the risk of injury or becoming stranded, allowing emergency services to focus on critical situations.
