Hawaii food banks are stocking up ahead of the storm Nolo and telling people to do the same, which is a useful heads-up for anyone on the islands.

• Food banks say every household should keep a 14-day supply of food that does not spoil, like canned soup, tuna, and chili.
• They also say to keep one gallon of water per person per day.
• The Food Basket on Hawaii Island already has extra water in its warehouse, left over from shipments sent for the earlier storm Lala.
• Back-to-back disasters meant supplies were already moving to the islands and arrived in time for this one.
• Food banks are working with local distributors to get more water out before the storm hits.

Outlook: Expect a push to get water and canned goods into homes and shelters in the next few days as Nolo approaches.
