Anyone know why someone is putting up a fence/wall around the burned out areas and who the foreign “police” are?

#22 Th clintons wanted the gold there. obama wanted to help the terrorists take.
Qadaffi spoke of the AU going on a gold standard African dollar.
Next thing you know…
#59 it was 5 months before that they tested the sirens.
18% failed so I guess their solution was to just turn OFF ALL the sirens....
I understand, but to have so many stupid people do the exact stupid thing is unlikely.
I couldn’t have designed it better.
No way numerous retards got everything right…
sioux city was a training area for b-17 pilots, including my father. he told me that pilot training b-17 crashes there were a frequent occurrence.
Because it would be the right thing to do.

(note: one comment claims that a timeline will not be released by the county until compelled by the state AG
investigation at the behest of Gov. Green, and therefore instigating that investigation was a big mistake by Gov. Green)

This is the maui emergency management agency division web page:
https://www.mauicounty.gov/70/Emergency-Management-Agency
at this moment, there is no department director. herman andaya was the previous director who resigned one week after the lahaina fire. apparently he had been in that position since 2018. there department is summarily described in the maui county charter, section 8, chapter 16 (p. 37):
https://www.mauicounty.gov/DocumentCenter/View/139187/CHARTER-—January-2023
the entire department is described in a single short paragraph. there is no description of a director or deputy director. the department is supervised by the fire and public safety commission (not the mayor directly). the commission is appointed by the mayor with the approval of the county council.
mayor bessin took office about 8 months ago.
imho if there is no formal director described in the charter, the director seems not to have any formal duties, including hiring and firing personnel, and can only make recommendations to the commission (this could lead to an administrative problem within the agency imho.) in addition, the director seems to have no formal deputy director to assist him in external or internal matters, or to take over responsibility during his absence or vacation.
there is no indication of how many employees there are in the department, or its budget.
