Maui Reporter speaks out, denied from accessing information regarding emergency response efforts

Four days after the wildfire that ripped through Lāhainā, destroying more than 2,000 structures and taking more than 89 lives, the town remains a dangerous place. Live power lines are strewn everywhere, and even if residents have an intact home, they don’t have safe, running water. In addition to the loss of so many residential structures, churches and schools, much of Lāhainā’s commercial property, including its entire historic district, is gone.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Rebuilding the town could cost more than $5 billion, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Pacific Disaster Center announced Friday.
