Nach schweren Bränden: Hawaiis Tourismus-Dilemma

Auf Hawaii wüteten die schlimmsten Wald- und Buschbrände der USA seit mehr als 100 Jahren. Noch immer sind viele Menschen vermisst. Das Leid, das die Brände hinterlassen haben, verschärft auch alte Konflikte. Von S. Schmidt.

"Members of the affected Filipino community say they face unique challenges, including the toll of continuing to work in the tourism industry, the inability to access aid because of language and immigration status and financial challenges tied to their multigenerational households."

"For many Native Hawaiians, the ruins of Lahaina are a harbinger of what’s to come if Hawaiʻi continues to follow the capitalist system under US occupation."

Excellent overview of what is happening in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement especially right now in light of Lahaina.

Thoughts are with Maui. And as we are part of the United Way family and Maui United Way ALREADY STARTED supporting NGOs AND locals (with 7.000 applications on the 1.000$ immideate aid for locals, tell the good news :)

QUESTION:

Is this #Lahaina or #Hiroshima ?

ANSWER: It's Lahaina. It looks like a war zone.

In their @uwcip rapid research report, Caulfield and Starbird also examined Twitter/X discourse around the Lahaina fires on Maui. They write: "Both during the fires themselves and in the aftermath, X discourse has leaned into conspiracism, with much of the discourse centering around theories the fires may have been deliberate." [3/3]

"It's been three weeks since the Lahaina wildfire tore through downtown, killing at least 115 people and leveling 2,000 homes and buildings. As the situation stabilizes, the crisis response to the Lahaina fire is evolving from a sprint to a marathon. Responders at sites like this one are looking beyond the immediate needs of the disaster to the longer-term consequences for the community's health and recovery."

“We owe it to the families." Meet the bone hunters from California — forensic anthropologists who specialize in recovering human remains from wildfires — who have sifted through Maui’s burn zone for the missing dead.

Java Jazz, a cafe just a few miles from downtown Lahaina, has stayed open throughout the aftermath of the Aug. 8 catastrophe. NPR spoke to its owner, Farzad Azad, about why he chose not to close, and the challenges he and his team have faced in recent weeks.

"This is parenting in 2023. This is #childcare in the age of #climatechange disasters. The tragedy in Maui raises a further question for not only our local, state, and government officials, but for all of us: With parents clearly unable to shield their children from the ever-expanding list of climate threats on their own, how can we rebuild our systems to promote young children’s safety, health and well-being?"

Opinion: Seems like officials in #Lahaina are trying to rush into the "everything is normal" "we'll recover" "search is over" phase. vs. a careful sift-and-filter operation. My prediction is it will all bog down after a few skeletal remains are found by clearing/hazmat crews and they realize they didn't do a thorough search job for remains (bone fragments incinerated are not readily detectable by cadaver dogs). #Hawaii #wildfire #disaster
