Hawaii governor says there will be a review to assess possible ‘failure of preparedness’



Gov. Josh Green (D-Hawaii) warned that climate change could make “fire hurricanes” like the Maui wildfire more frequent, and preparation systems need to change. “It’s a catastrophic loss. It’s our largest natural disaster since statehood,” Green said. “It’s like a nuclear weapon went off in Lahaina.”

  1. Should start with the Governor resigning. So obvious this clown is a globalist. I hope people are waking up to who is really behind these fires

  2. Lets see who's behind those offers to now buy the land

  3. Need to have a few older cruise ships pull up to house the locals while rebuild takes place.

    God bless us all

  4. Dont worry the president yall voted for out there will send more money to Ukraine so youll be alright

  5. You know it's a coordinated attack when it's easy to give aid but you withhold it from the victims when it's so easy to give it.

  6. Possible failure? Come on!

  7. Hawaii Governor Seeks Moratorium On Property Sales In Lahaina disguise he going to try to steal private property from these victims to make it state property.

  8. Is there a list of funds where we can donate directly to the families affected so they won’t feel pressure to sell out to external investors? Emergency response funds for food, etc. are important, but these folks will be driven out if they cannot afford to rebuild without selling.

  9. Wow bro marble countertops 1650° before they melt metal 1800° a forest fire only burns at about 1200° something don’t make sense that’s for sure and it didn’t look like no normal fire to me. you better get with your buddies and ask them if they didn’t do it with their high energy weapon just saying in this whole thing sounds so scripted it’s crazy

  10. dude needs a nap …. dang

  11. Amazing how people are against Christianity now speak of prayers…

  12. As much as I love living in Hawaii, the lack of foresight and competence of its leaders in government are its Achilles heel. That partially explains why it has a 20 billion dollar train that goes from nowhere to nowhere, and then wonders why nobody is riding it.

  13. Josh, I have an empty Ohana House someone can stay. Come

  14. They didn't melt granite counters, Congoleum yea and FAUX granite definately, not stone.

  15. EV fires? not A word about these issues. When the truth will out? Maybe a cause but for sure it made it much worse. Heal first but many hard Questions about this Tragedy. Prayers for Maui aloha

  16. DOCTOR DEATH JOSH GREEN

    SMIRKING BRIAN SCHATZ

    FORMER FBI STOOGE JOHN PELLETIER

    MONEYBAGS MAZIE HIRONO

    AWOL RICHARD BISSEN

    …ALL THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE NOW ON YOU

    THE PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET THEM

    BLACKROCK AND VANGUARD WILL NOT SUCCEED WITH THE TAKEOVER OF THAT LAND

    YOU'VE ALL JUST EXPOSED YOURSELVES, BIG-TIME…

  17. Hawaii has always had hurricanes. It's funny how he's just blaming global warming. The system was obviously designed by clowns when it obviously failed so easily because "fire burns."

  18. I don't feel no fake prayers. KEEP the make believe. You want to help send cash. Send a generator. A circus tent. A chainsaw, not paper towels. Yeah we're out there BEFORE fema.

  19. Now East Palestine has company being effed up by Biden.

  20. Annnnd now the insurance companies are going to deny coverage for Hawaii 😒

  21. 😠 Meanwhile, I'd appreciate it if DOGS aren't used to sniff through all these toxic fumes and ashes that the handlers know will cause cancers so they are covered from head to toe with protective gears while the dogs have none! 🐾 Dogs are also painstakingly slow, only 3% of ground covered so far as of 08/14. 🕵HUNDREDS of "citizen forensics" would work faster and better, especially now that those with missing friends and families are just sitting around doing nothing but feeling helpless. They WANT to come in and look for their dead and to maybe salvage belongings. TRAIN THEM ON THE BASICS QUICKLY! THEN GEAR THEM UP, LET THEM IN!

  22. If government officials, like the pathetic governor, are involved, you know there was criminal incompetence. The governor’s nearly immediate declaration that the land would be taken over by government should tell anyone with a brain what is going on.

  23. praying now and always for all this people

  24. We have had a similar situation in Boulder County Colorado that destroy/damaged 1000 homes in hours. But everyone was able to evacuate – full engagement by police and fire crews. Compare the two situations and similar 80 to 100 mph wind driven fires over dense tall grass.

  25. Climate change storms? lol. you're kidding, right? Are people really hearing this? Things that make ya go hmmm?

  26. Biden is corrupt! The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers with the 19th Engineer Battalion could have that island rebuilt in a month! I guess HAwaii has to play to pay just like the Chinese…

  27. And he wasted NO TIME making this about climate change. Smh

  28. “Climate change storm”
    Lol , that’s a new one .
    Now I think I understand why no siren or alert was given. Let fire get out of hand , blame it on climate change.
    I smell a rat

  29. AMEN. WE HAVE BEEN 🙏🙏🙏FOR ALL THE FOLKS IN MAUI, HAWAII. 🙏🙏🙏 GOD GRANTING POWER, GRACE PEACE, COMFORTS, TO REBUILD AND RESTORES FOR EVERYONE IN MAUI, HAWAII❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!

  30. So he us using this to push his ignorance with "climate change" and "global warming"……
    Climate change has been going on since the dawn of time and we can't stop it….
    If he would have swallowed his pride and put politics aside, he could've asked Victorino what he should've done.
    Victorino would've told him to shut down the power grid and NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!

    There was NO SIRENS!!!!!

    NO EMERGENCY BROADCAST!!!!

    NO CELL PHONE WARNINGS!!!!!

    This is all on the idiots in charge!!!!!!

    Stupidity at its finest.
