At least 96 people have been confirmed killed after a ferocious wildfire swept through Maui last week. With hundreds still missing, officials have warned the death toll may rise.
The fire all but destroyed Lahaina, the historic town on Hawaiian island’s west side. More than 2,700 structures have been destroyed, including the oldest house on Maui, the Baldwin Home Museum, the Waiola church and the 90-year-old Hongwanji Shin Buddhist temple.
Once the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom, Lahaina is a town that holds relevance for many.
Whether you are local to Lahaina or have visited before, we would like to hear about your connection to the area. We are also interested in hearing from those who are helping with the humanitarian response to the wildfire, or providing support in other ways.
