Maui is one of my favorite places on Earth. Driving through the destruction a year ago was so overwhelming I pulled over and broke down in tears. It felt like I’d lost a part of my soul. It still does.

One year ago today Maui and the city of Lahaina were devastated by fires. The efforts to rebuild continue… #mauistrong #lahainastrong
My kumu taught us about the sacred island of Mokuʻula in #Lahaina #Maui and now there is a chance to restore it. I hope this #giftLink from the Washington Post works for you! #indiginous #waterRights #hawaii #fire #mauiStrong “From burn scar to wetland: After wildfires destroyed Lahaina, the battle to restore an ancient ecosystem will shape the town’s future.” https://wapo.st/3RYA1dd
Maui fires offer a chance to restore Lahaina wetlands

A wetland restoration project is bringing hope to Maui residents who want to honor Lahaina’s history and return water to the town after last year’s fires.

The Washington Post
“Among the blackened remnants of roofs and walls, there are mounds of silvery ash, even nine months later. After the fire, the Environmental Protection Agency sprayed a glue-like substance called Soiltac to stabilize the debris and prevent it from running off” due to the proximity of #coral #reefs. #npr #atc #allThingsConsidered #lahaina #fire #mauiStrong #coralReef “Maui community mobilizes to protect water quality from runoff after Lahaina fires” https://www.npr.org/2024/05/10/1248856713/lahaina-maui-fire-ocean-water-quality-safety

If you want an overview of how things are in Lahaina four months after the fire, check out Jesse Wald’s video. TL;DR: The EPA just completed the hazardous materials removal project and now the main debris removal will start and take about a year.

The devastation is just so visible now, makes me so sad. So many people’s homes and businesses just gone and I imagine the rebuild will take years. Not just because of the number of buildings destroyed–over 2,000–but also because the labor and supplies constraints for a small island. Maui population is what, 60-70,000?

But they are ohana and we will be with them.
