HONOLULU (KHON2) — In a new map released by the County of Maui, estimates show the extent of the damage sustained from Maui’s fires. Those estimates were made based on visual inspection of satellite imagery and open source images.
An estimated 2,170 acres burned in the Lahaina area, with 2,719 structures exposed to the fire.
The map further estimates a need to shelter 4,500 which is estimated to need 3,560 gallons of water and 9,000 meals a day.
Gov. Josh Green asked rental owners to house displaced residents, stating on Wake Up 2Day that he would change the rules, as needed. Maui Economic Opportunity is currently taking an inventory of available housing to meet the needs of displaced residents. Those able to help can email debbie.cabebe@meoinc.org.
Notable structures that were damaged or lost in the Lahaina fire include Pioneer Inn, along with its restaurant Papa’aina. The Lahaina Arts building was gutted, though its banyan tree remains standing.
Countless homes, where loved ones gathered and generations grew up, make up the bulk of the structures destroyed. The estimated structures that were damaged or destroyed is 2,207. Of those exposed structures 86% were residential.
While the Lahaina fire raged, the fire in Upcountry continued to burn, the total estimate of that fire being $434 million. An estimated 678 acres burned, with 96% of that estimate residential. A total of 544 homes were exposed to the fire.
And it didn't help that apparently the fire hydrants had no water, I guess they don't regularly test them.
Epstein island replacement?

Uninsured. Underinsured.
Nothing was learned after the Leilani Estates debacle.
Not a damn thing.
The Ukrainian’s are buying land now
Briben wants another $20 billion for Udraine.
To the extent that it’s a “jobs program” for unionized munitions factories, I can see his interest in it.
Most of Hawaii requires electricity to pump water.
Plenty of water, just no gravity feed for the most part.
Hell, we lost power, water, AND cell service on Oahu in 2006 from an earthquake 180 miles away. The ground shook and everything just shut down.
Place is run by incompetent democrats.

Does Caliph Baraq have similar large Hawaii land holdings, or just his seaside mansion?
Blackrock and the WEF. It will become the blueprint for the first “Digital City” or some such nonsense. copy this post.
Everyone should stop complaining about the response... /s
Biden’s FEMA Chief, Deanne Criswell told reporters during a briefing at the White House Monday that she believes the government has enough resources and staff on the ground in Maui.
“At this point, I have no awareness of anything that we have not been able to meet, and we’ll continue to build up our presence here on the island to support this,” Criswell said when asked by ABC News’ Mary Bruce if there were any delays.
Remember 10% for the Big Guy. The Hawaii Mayor will take his fee for distributing all of the Federal dollars...
I like it. I was going to suggest the main attraction be called the Big O.
Too bad, Oprah already bought all that land
People are dying in Ukraine and you’re using their misery to push for more billions in graft and kickbacks for the DC oligarchs.
Contemptible!
Aloha,little Odessa!
