April-June, 2024

Neighborhood Planning Workshops

Between April and June, a series of in-person workshops were held at the Lahainaluna High School cafeteria to gather input from residents on topics specific to the areas of Kelawea Mauka, Wahikuli, Lahaina Town North and South, and the Historic and Business Districts. Residents had the opportunity to speak with recovery support teams and collaborate with their fellow community members on their vision for recovery.

WED, April 10, 2024

Disaster Recovery Community Update Meeting

At the County of Maui's weekly update meeting for Lahaina residents impacted by the 2023 August wildfires, the Community Planning team gave a presentation on the recovery planning process, and shared what we've heard from the community so far. Information boards were also on display for the public to learn about the various Recovery Support Function (RSF) teams.

Opportunities

We can build back better by allowing others to build a bigger fire department and police station because ever since the fire I noticed that we barely had a fire department they needed to bring others from the mainland.

We also need an Aquatic center and a playground for kids to play where they could forget about everything that has happened.
