Why is prolonged #drought a problem for Maui? In my photo I shared, you can see a large mountain that is covered in invasive grasses that are highly flammable. It was just a year ago that Maui had the devastating series of fires that reduced Lahaina to charred rubble. We are just as vulnerable to another serious #wildfire event as we were in the summer of 2023. Frontline had a fantastic #documentary that covered the #Lahaina fire.

@lnxw37b2 Interesting, I always thought it was #FEMA or the #RedCross who do that. But I think it’s funny how tons of people are rushing to defend the #USA government, saying aid isn’t getting turned away, when from what I hear local governments often stop unofficial aid and rescue attempts because they want to inspect it before it is shipped out or don’t want civilians endangering themselves (see the #Lahaina / #Maui situation).
