Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says the future of a Maui community devastated by deadly fire will be determined by its people.
Native Hawaiians and others from Lahaina said earlier Friday they worry Hawaii’s governor is moving too quickly to rebuild what was lost while the grief is still raw.
In Green’s address, he attempted to allay their concerns, while noting that rebuilding will take years of work and billions of dollars. The coalition of activists, under the umbrella of a group calling itself “Na Ohana o Lele: Lahaina,” were especially concerned about the impact of development on the environment and noted how mismanagement of resources — particularly land and water — contributed to the quick spread of the fire.
Andaya’s resignation letter was brief and had no mention of the health reasons that county officials cited for his resignation. 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.
Six forensic anthropologists with the Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency are assisting in, the Pentagon said in a statement Friday. The group is experienced in verifying DNA from long-lost service members, many of whom died as long ago as World War II., according to reporting by The Associated Press.after a 1946 tsunamiHawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez said earlier Thursday that an outside organization will conduct “an impartial, independent” review of the government’s response.
