Maui Wildfire Recovery
The Resiliency Initiative's President and CEO, Andrea Davis, was quoted in Forbes sharing lessons learned from past wildfires to help support Maui's recovery.
Andrea recommends the following:
Creating community hubs is a tried-and-true way for emergency managers to expedite recovery. This can be accomplished by leveraging non-profits and other community organizations that have become impromptu community shelters and distribution sites.
Emergency Managers should lean on the private sector to help them get the word out and support the recovery efforts.
Emergency managers must engage with the indigenous community throughout Maui to ensure they are receiving resources. The best approach would be to work with indigenous community leaders and organizations who are already engaged.
