“Tragically it took less than a single day for us to lose Lahaina in the deadliest fire our country has seen in more than a century,” she said. In Green’s address, he attempted to allay their concerns, while noting that rebuilding will take years of work and billions of dollars. “The governor should not rush to rebuild the community without first giving people time to heal, especially without including the community itself in the planning,” Lawrence said. “Fast-track development cannot come at the cost of community control.”
“If that was the case, then they would have gone into the fire,” Andaya explained. He stepped down Thursday, a day later. Off the coast of Kihei on Friday morning, a holiday marking Hawaii’s statehood, paddlers in outrigger canoes glided through Maalaea Bay about 20 miles south of Lahaina. Fishermen cast their lines from knee-deep water. And beachgoers strolled along the sand.
The lack of sirens has emerged as a potential misstep, part of a series of communication issues that added to the chaos, according to reporting by The Associated Press.
