​Health & Well-Being Must Be Part of Maui’s Recovery

$1.6B in disaster funds are being allocated, but health is not included. Help us change that

The long-term health impacts of the Maui wildfires continue to affect our entire community—our families, friends, kūpuna, and keiki are experiencing more respiratory problems, stress and trauma, and challenges getting the care they need. Yet, despite $1.6 billion in disaster recovery funds being allocated, support for our community’s health and well-being is missing. Without dedicated health funding, many in our ‘ohana will be left struggling to heal.
 

Health is not separate from housing or rebuilding—it’s at the heart of our community’s recovery. We need resources for medical care, mental health support, and long-term tracking of wildfire-related health effects to protect our ‘ohana today and for future generations. Our voices matter—now is the time for our community to come together and make sure health funding is part of Maui’s recovery plan.

Let’s speak up for the health and well-being of our community.

 

Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind.
