🧵 4/4: the slow federal #emergencyresponse, compounded by the loss of the cultural symbolism of #Lahaina is re-traumatising the #Hawaiian population & adding to the #colonial history. But maybe that's exactly where the silver lining is: as a local said "the #fire could be both the worst natural disaster of our lifetime and also the greatest opportunity of our lifetime.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/12/maui-fire-death-toll-lahaina-hawaii-damage/

How are we going to organise responses in the climate emergency - calls for volunteers and supplies, news of safe and unsafe routes, updates on loved ones?

Though what communication channels?

The tour operators, by the way, seem to have abandoned customers to their fate.

We need emergency response built into everything now. Communications, shelter, supplies in place, residents and travelers to know where they can be found.
