Native Hawaiians and others from a Maui community devastated by ferocious fire say they worry Hawaii’s governor is moving too quickly to rebuild what was lost. They say the grief is still raw. The governor and his wife are scheduled to provide a livestreamed address Friday evening with updates on the response to the Maui wildfires that killed at least 111 people. He has said he would announce details of a moratorium on land transactions in Lahaina to prevent people from falling victim to land grabs. Since the flames consumed much of Lahaina, locals have feared a rebuilt town could become even more oriented toward wealthy visitors.

Survivors have been contending with intermittent power and unreliable cell service as they seek help rebuilding their lives. A mobile morgue with coroners, pathologists and technicians has arrived to help with the grim task of sorting through remains. The governor has warned that a new storm could complicate the search and recovery.
