The Maui County Office of Recovery is inviting residents to attend a free presentation Feb. 11 focused on reducing wildfire risk to homes, neighborhoods and communities across Maui Nui.

The event will begin at 5 p.m. at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Morgado Hall, featuring fire risk experts discussing practical, solution-oriented strategies for wildfire mitigation while supporting long-term community resilience and recovery.

The presentation will be led by experts from Headwaters Economics, an independent nonprofit research group specializing in wildfire risk, land-use planning and community resilience.

According to the county, the presentation is designed for a general audience and will help participants better understand why wildfire risk to homes and neighborhoods is increasing across Maui County and how development patterns, building practices and landscaping influence vulnerability.

They will also cover how homes ignite during wildfires and what can be done to prevent it, in addition to steps homeowners and neighborhoods can take to reduce risk and how risk-reduction strategies align with Lahaina recovery priorities and long-term community resilience goals.
