Improving Disaster Responses: Lessons from Hawaii's Wildfires

Hawaii Governor Josh Green gives an emotional update on the recovery effort after devastating wildfires on Maui, stating that Lahaina Town will "rise again" as a symbol of resilience and unity. The wildfires have claimed at least 114 lives, with search efforts ongoing. The fires have burned through over 2,000 acres of land, destroying or damaging thousands of structures, including the historic banyan tree. The governor acknowledges the long road ahead for recovery and highlights the massive effort required to rebuild Lahaina and other affected areas. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit Maui next week to meet with first responders and assess the damage.
