Speaker Scott K. Saiki today announced that the Final Report of the House of Representatives Lahaina Wildfire Interim Working Groups has been published. The report is a culmination of efforts from six bipartisan working groups, formed on Sept. 6, 2023, to evaluate topics related to the Lahaina wildfire.
Over the past 14 weeks, the House interim working groups collaborated with federal, state, and county agencies and community stakeholders to conduct research, outline key issues related to wildfires, and craft recommendations for the 2024 Regular Session. The final report is available for public review on the Hawaiʻi State Capitol website.
“Following the devastating Lahaina wildfires, the House took early action before the legislative session to address immediate issues requiring temporary or transitional relief. Public input was critical in shaping the final report and policy recommendations,” said House Speaker Scott K. Saiki. “We invite everyone to review the report, which contains comprehensive research and recommendations that could provide insights to improved response to wildfire emergencies.”
