FEMA Officials' Luxury Hotel Stay in Maui Raises Concerns Amid Recovery Efforts

FEMA officials responding to the devastating wildfires in Maui have been criticized for staying at luxury hotels costing $1,000 per night, while thousands of displaced residents are living in shelters. The officials are staying at four different resorts in Wailea, including the Fairmont Kea Lani, Four Seasons, Grand Wailea, and Marriott Wailea Beach Resort. The choice of accommodation has raised eyebrows as there are cheaper options closer to the disaster zone. Locals have also expressed anger over the slow response and alleged blocking of volunteers delivering aid.
