FEMA: Wildfire debris removal 64% complete

According to FEMA, the wildfire debris transfer from the temporary site to the permanent disposal site was 64% complete as of Aug. 22.

FEMA has placed all 40 temporary housing units across three secondary sites in Lahaina to help wildfire survivors move back to West Maui.

Eligible survivors in FEMA’s Direct Housing Program have been assigned a unit and are expected to move in this fall after the necessary safety checks and readiness inspections on the units are complete.

FEMA also reported there are currently 486 building permits that have been issued, 55 structures completed and 340 permits that are being processed. Permits are processed by 4LEAF, a Maui County contractor.

To contact 4LEAF, survivors can visit in-person at the Maui County Service Center at 110 Alaihi St., Suite 207, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or call (808) 270-5724.
