Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced a $150 million fund aimed at providing over $1 million to families affected by the Maui wildfires, accelerating financial support without legal proceedings.
The fund is designed to enable quick compensation for losses and facilitate the rebuilding of Lahaina, reflecting Hawaii's cultural values and traditions in the recovery process.
Initial funding will come from the state, Maui County, Hawaiian Electric, and Kamehameha Schools, all of which have been implicated in lawsuits related to the wildfires.
Green likened this initiative to the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, highlighting a commitment to assist victims swiftly while minimizing litigation.
