The island of Maui in Hawaii was hit by a series of devastating wildfires in August 2023, killing about 100 people and displacing thousands more. The fires were fueled by strong winds from Hurricane Dora and nonnative invasive grasses that covered much of the island’s grasslands. The fires burned more than 3,400 acres of land and destroyed more than 2,700 homes and businesses, including most of the historic town of Lahaina, which was once Hawaii’s capital. The fires are now under control, but the recovery and rebuilding efforts are expected to take months, if not years. Many residents are still missing or unaccounted for, and the authorities are using DNA samples to identify the victims. The Maui community is in need of urgent help and support to cope with the aftermath of the tragedy.
The Maui wildfires are the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century , surpassing the death toll of the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California that killed 85 people. They are also the worst natural disaster of any kind in Hawaii in recorded history. The Maui wildfires have left a lasting scar on the island’s landscape, culture, and economy and the lives of so many.
