Maui slowly trudges toward rebuilding 1 month after the deadly wildfire devastation.
She continued, "It's really surreal to be in the experience of a humanitarian crisis ... when the world starts moving on, but you're still in crisis mode. I worry that attention is flickering."Some people may not return to their land any time soon, as crews from the Environmental Protection Agency go from property to property in search of dangerous chemicals and materials like propane tanks, batteries, fertilizers, and more that were left behind in damaged structures.
A five-mile swath of Lahaina, a historic town with deep cultural significance for the Native Hawaiian community, was damaged in the wildfire on the West side of the island.Cultural monitors have been hired to work with official crews alongside their search, "advising us of cultural and historic items that might be present on the property, so we can make sure that they're not further disturbed by our activities," according to Dunkleman.
&B program is also housing survivors. It is also working to help survivors move beyond hotels into more long-term housing solutions in the near future. Officials of all kind have signaled that following the path forward is based on the community's lead. In the long term, Jabola-Carolus expects the conversation among residents to remain "political," as issues like land ownership, environmental injustice, worker justice, and more are highlighted by the destruction's impact on the community.
