Hopefully they the a department of social services that give the survivors housing vouchers. From what I remember in the Quake it was for one year and at that time but you couldn’t move or could lose it.
Hopefully that’s enough time to get their homes rebuilt and Hope they have good insurance.
Right now Femas there for temp help.

Maui Struggles To Find Housing For Displaced People As Search For Survivors Continues

A tribute to the people who stood their ground.

“Even if I were pollinated and fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure I have ever seen, even from partners, parents, children, friends, colleagues, and doctors. People who were capable of such personality, courage, and critical ability are undoubtedly the best of humanity.

They are everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, states, and ideas. They are of a special kind; they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks. They are the parents that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of having. They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered horizons. They are there, next to you, they look normal, but they are superheroes. They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination, and social exclusion.

And they did it because they thought they were alone, and believed they were the only ones. Banned from their families’ tables at Christmas, they never saw anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money… but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal, and humiliation but they kept going.

Never before in humanity has there been such a ‘casting’, now we know who are the best on planet Earth. Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races or religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed. That’s you, you passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, astronauts, and geniuses could not withstand. You are made of the stuff of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who glow at night.”

Maui Stats

Posted by Maya @ 14:37 on August 12, 2023  

2200 structures burned.

$5.52 Billion damage estimate

80 Dead SO FAR.  Mostly found outdoors.  Structure exams for bodies continues, so toll will go higher still

5,500 people in need of homes/shelter right now.

And the conspiracy theories rage even hotter than the fire, ranging from ‘microwaves from space’ to ‘billionaires burning out the locals so they can develop the land’.   Sad thoughts when so many are suffering.  Airlines are mounting extra flights to Maui to bring in relief supplies.  Everyone is coming together to provide what ever aid they can.

Hello criminals, you have right to privacy, and you shouldn’t worry about it if you have nothing to hide right. Well you know what they say about people like him who have nothing to hide. But since he wants to bring the subject up he can answer a few questions about Covid what’s he up to, and a virtual tour of his directions and home, bank accounts and property’s. If he has nothing to hide that should not bother him.
Someone should give him a psych eval.
They’re using words like hypnotists can use to get someone to do something but the thing  with him trying to copy it he’s not even good at it. He just looks like a lunatic.

Like they did with words like racism, homophobia, to get a reaction. Like watching hypnotized people on stage. When I say this word you’ll be a famous rock star playing the guitar.  They did it with Covid too. Similar to a hypnotist that once they got the fear thing going the hospitals went gonna save you only vaccines can and started putting on the pressure. Like a hypnotist telling a group it’s getting hot in here, and starts telling them it’s getting hotter, it’s a 100 degrees, 110, 115. You better get to the shelter “ the jab”  now and then you’ll get relief and nice cool drinks and won’t have to worry about it any more.

Still wondering why the Repubs don’t call out and ask the Dems why they don’t tell Klaus to get lost first before they do to see where they stand on the subject.

I remember that missile alert but wasn’t clear in what reasons that caused it. This is worse than a error with caution or what ever happened with that. It did bring to mind that they didn’t have a plan for that or shelters with filter systems either being on a island. They could also use them fir fires.

If they knew about the winds and the fire was on the other side of the mountain from what I hear they should have warned people to be on alert and have a grab bag ready their pets too and ready to go. I guess with pets they’d have to have a neighbor to help if they had to work and something happened they couldn’t get back or a shelter in another part of the island. Same with kids and schools should have a plan to get them out on buses and a destination and not wait for them to be picked up.
Once that fire started to head up that mountain on the other side because of the winds they should of called to evacuate. They had no coordinated watch system. Not only sirens but those choppers could of been watching and notified by speakers by air starting with those closest to the fire to get out. It’s like they put no thought into it and and like the Paradise fire only two roads out. There there always gonna be somebody blocking the road and they would need police and what ever they got there to keep the traffic moving. Paradise they said the fire moved as fast as a football field a second.
Yes they only had to roads but no it wasn’t the only reason. And HELLO  they have a big ocean there and a lot of boats. They could have a 3 tier system or even 4 tier with air.
People died because frankly they were too lazy to put up a system of all places on a Island with only two roads out and still no warning system. Sound like they need a fire wall expert because of the speed it comes down that mountain.

When I saw that fire come down like a jet as a school kid it was about a football and a half length clearing to where I was standing,  but where I was standing there was a  brush and it was on fire. I didn’t even see how it got there it was so fast not even embers but then just ash started falling and a tumble weed on fire running for help after I heard what I heard from those fire hot shots in trouble. Being a mountain person to you can see what you hear and knew some were already dead.
Clearings stoped the fire from traveling straight to the homes behind me and kept it traveling straight to where I was in that manner but still embers or something started the fire next to me. I’m guessing sprinkler system starting up or watered landscape and windows closed from there would of slowed it down giving people more time.

I think they need advice from fire and communication experts but should have already had it.
What are peoples family hearing? Next time? Their family members are dead!

The Dept of Emergency Management employee that sent out the bogus ‘Missile Alert’ a few years back is still there… working.  We are in good hands… NOT!   What can you expect from a state department called… DEM.
