Security in Re-Opened Zones

From 2023 to early 2025, the Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) implemented a phased reopening of zones in Lahaina. As each zone reopened, security checkpoints were relocated to other areas within the Lahaina Impact Zone. With the reopening of these zones, health and safety concerns have been addressed, and the affected areas have been cleared. As a result, the County of Maui no longer has legal justification to restrict access to public roads. All zones except for those adjacent to Lahaina Harbor (10A, 11A, 11C1, and 12A) are considered open to the public.

To support the transition, the Maui Police Department (MPD) has increased patrols in the area to ensure safety and provide support as the community adjusts to the reopening.

Throughout this transition period, the County encourages neighborhoods to build connections and explore the establishment of neighborhood watch programs to enhance community safety. While community initiatives are valuable, homeowners remain responsible for the security of their own property.

For any public safety or public health concerns, or to report a crime, please contact the Maui Police Department (MPD) non-emergency line at (808) 244-6400. In case of emergencies, dial 9-1-1. By reporting incidents and maintaining open communication, residents assist MPD in gaining greater situational awareness of neighborhoods, allowing for more effective resource allocation and increased patrols as needed.
