Months after wildfires destroyed much of Lahaina, Hawaii is offering victims up to $1.5 million. But the money is available only if the victims agree not to sue the state agencies some claim were responsible for the devastation.
From Legal Insurrection. Over 6 months ago, a devastating wildfire swept through the Maui island town of Lahaina in Hawaii and incinerated much of the surrounding region.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall that a state water official delayed the release of water that landowners wanted to help protect their property from fires because water is to be revered and not used. Additionally, Hawaiian green energy mandates may have led Hawaiian Electric to divert fiscal resources away from fire-prevention practices.
There was also a delayed evacuation order.
A detailed timeline of events describes a series of calls to emergency dispatchers, reporting a fast-spreading fire at 2:55 p.m. Officers soon began evacuating neighboring areas, the report said.
But it does not explore the county’s delay before issuing a broader evacuation alert. The county made a decision not to use its all-hazards siren system and waited until 4:16 p.m. to send a cellphone evacuation alert. That alert was targeted at residential neighborhoods above the Honoapiʻilani Highway. …
Now, the relatives of fire victims could receive over $1 million in compensation…as long as they choose not to sue state agencies and companies involved.
The families of those who died in the Maui fire last year could receive up to $1.5 million in compensation if they choose to not sue state agencies and companies involved.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) made the announcement at a press conference marking the six-month mark since a wildfire swept the tourist town of Lahaina, killing 100 people and displacing many more. …
The Maui police recently issued an after-action report with 32 recommendations on better responding to a large wildfire. …
The economy around Lahaina is still struggling. …

Lord, we know You want the truth to be known. I claim Luke 12:2-3: “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known. 3 Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have [c]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops!”
Revelation of the truth Lord! In Jesus name!
Father, corruption in government harms the people they are to protect. Destroy the corruption in our governments. Heal the people of Lahaina and help them to trust you in all of this.
Thank you thankyou for your insightful and Biblical prayers!!
As tough as it is to turn down money in times of need, do it. Turn it down. Band together and hold those accountable. Everyone with a pulse can see there was wrongdoing.
Wish I was in a positon to offer more than prayers. But God can do all things. So I will pray for you all.
