At least six people died, dozens were wounded and 271 structures were damaged or destroyed. https://apnews.com/article/hawaii-wildfire-maui-dora-winds-ec23c16abfbeb6ba689f1a98263720db?

Members phkrause Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 New fire prompts evacuation as survivors of Maui’s wildfires return after death toll rises to 67 LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — A new fire burning on the Hawaii island of Maui on Friday night triggered the evacuation of a community to the northeast of the area that burned earlier this week, police said. https://apnews.com/article/hawaii-fires-maui-lahaina-sirens-c0f3cc5c7718bd41dd54d38479fb29b2? Why this matters: The wildfire is already the state’s deadliest natural disaster since a 1960 tsunami, which killed 61 people on the Big Island. The fire is also the deadliest U.S. wildfire since the 2018 Camp Fire in California killed 85. The wildfire is especially heartbreaking for Hawaii because it struck one of its most historic towns and the onetime capital of the former kingdom, Lahaina. The town was once the royal residence of King Kamehameha, who unified Hawaii under a single kingdom by defeating the other islands’ chiefs and his successors made it the capital from 1820 to 1845. Kings and queens are buried in the graveyard of the 200-year-old stone Wainee Church. Later named Waiola, the church that once sat up to 200 people was photographed apparently engulfed in flames this week. Lahaina’s wildfire risk was well-known. Maui County’s hazard mitigation plan, last updated in 2020, identified Lahaina and other West Maui communities as having frequent wildfire ignitions and a large number of buildings at risk of wildfire damage. West Maui was also identified as having the island’s highest population of people living in multi-unit housing, the second-highest rate of households without a vehicle, and the highest rate of non-English speakers.

Why this matters: Tuesday’s wildfire has killed at least 96 people, becoming the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in a century. Maui County estimates over 80% of the more than 2,700 structures in the town were damaged or destroyed and 4,500 residents are newly in need of shelter. The median price of a Maui home is $1.2 million, putting a single-family home out of reach for the typical wage earner. Sterling Higa, the executive director of the non-profit Housing Hawaii’s Future said the town is host to many houses that have been in the hands of local families for generations, but it’s also been subject to gentrification. Residents with insurance or government aid may get funds to rebuild, but those payouts could take years and it may not be enough to pay rent or buy an alternate property in the interim. Many on Kauai spent years fighting for insurance payments after Hurricane Iniki slammed into the island in 1992 and said the same could happen in Lahaina, Higa said.

Why this matters: A class-action lawsuit has already been filed seeking to hold Hawaiian Electric Co. responsible for the deaths of more than 100 people. Hawaiian Electric declined to comment on the accusations in the lawsuit or whether it has ever shut down power before due to high winds. But President and CEO Shelee Kimura noted at a news conference Monday that many factors go into that decision, including the possible effect on specialized medical equipment and firefighters who need power to pump water. Satellite imagery reviewed by the AP shows that starting about 500 yards downwind from where the videos were filmed, whole neighborhoods were reduced to ash. Though experts say the early evidence suggests multiple blazes may have been ignited in and around Lahaina on Aug. 8, there were no recorded lightning strikes or other apparent natural causes for the fires.

Members phkrause Posted August 20, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 Emergency services chief on Maui resigns after criticism for not activating sirens during fire Outdoor alert sirens on Maui stayed silent as a ferocious fire devastated the seaside community of Lahaina last week. A day after saying he had no regrets about not deploying the system as a warning to residents, the Maui Emergency Management Agency administrator resigned Thursday. Read more. Why this matters: Administrator Herman Andaya said he feared using the sirens during the blaze could have caused people to go “mauka,” a navigational term in Hawaiian meaning toward the mountains or inland. “If that was the case, then they would have gone into the fire,” Andaya explained. The decision not to use the sirens, coupled with water shortages and a clogged escape route, has brought intense criticism from residents following the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in more than a century.

Members phkrause Posted August 25, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2023 Adventist Organizations Step Up to Help Recovery Efforts in Maui According to a recent press release, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is collaborating with Adventist Health and Adventist Community Services (ACS) to aid in the recovery of Maui communities impacted by devastating wildfires. Over $100,000 in goods and cash is being contributed by ADRA to bolster the efforts of ACS and Adventist Health in response to the wildfires that have tragically claimed the lives of over 114 Hawaiians. The fires, believed to have been ignited by a malfunctioning electrical system and exacerbated by wind gusts from Hurricane Dora, have ravaged more than 2,000 homes, residential villages, and a significant portion of the island’s west side, displacing thousands. https://atoday.org/adventist-organizations-step-up-to-help-recovery-efforts-in-maui/ Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.
