During the wildfire, residents had to hastily evacuate to seek refuge, leaving absolutely everything behind.
Authorities will start the process of allowing the initial group of residents and property owners to return to their severely damaged properties in Lahaina on Monday.
“A high level of support will be provided to returning residents during the first two days of re-entry, including water, shade, washing stations, portable toilets, medical and mental health care, Maui Bus transportation from local hotel shelters, and language assistance,” Maui County said in a press release.
“They anticipate some people will only want to go for a very short period of time—a few minutes to say goodbye in a way to their property," said Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, the Associated Press reported."Others may want to stay several hours. They’re going to be very accommodating.” Ultimately, the wildfire claimed the lives of at least 97 people, lower than what was previously reported at 115, and destroyed over 2,000 structures, mostly homes.
