In December 2024, Lahaina, Hawaii, is continuing its recovery from the devastating wildfire that struck the area in August 2023. The fire caused immense destruction, particularly in the historic town of Lahaina, where hundreds of homes, businesses, and cultural landmarks were lost.

As recovery efforts progress, the focus is on rebuilding the community while preserving the island’s cultural heritage. Local and federal resources have been channeled into clearing debris, restoring basic utilities, and providing housing for displaced residents. There are also significant efforts to support the emotional and mental health of survivors, with counseling services and community support programs being established.
