Hawaii
How did deadly wildfires in Hawaii last year impact people's health? A new study found that nearly half of people in Maui affected by the fires "experienced a decline in health," compared to a year ago. Roughly 74 per cent of study participants had poor respiratory health or elevated risk for cardiovascular disease due to hypertension. The University of Hawaii study looked at 679 people as part of ongoing research into the impact of the fires on health. More than half of the participants lived in the fire perimeter area. Heat-related deaths are on the rise in Europe as the effects of climate c...

Hawaii has long been a ‘bucket list’ destination for travellers the world over - but it’s also well known for having suffered from overtourism in recent years. Back in 2022, the island state in the Pacific begged visitors to stop coming in such huge numbers, saying thousands of tourists - especially from the US - were making the islands’ roads, beaches and restaurants practically unusable, especially for locals. That cry appeared to fall on deaf ears, especially since the first TV series of The White Lotus shone even more light on the tropical state as a desirable destination. Enough is now en...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The number of people thought to have died in the fast-moving wildfire that tore through part of Hawaii last month dropped Friday, as authorities revised their figures. The state's governor, Josh Green, said scientists sorting through remains now believed that 97 people had perished in Lahaina, down from a previous official toll of 115. "That number dropped a little bit because the Department of Defense and all of their physical anthropologists were able to help us discern better who was in cars or in houses," Green said in a Facebook video. "So thank God, fewer people have ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - At least 1,100 people are still missing two weeks after deadly wildfires ravaged the Hawaiian island of Maui, authorities said Tuesday, with the FBI seeking family members' help in identifying the remains of the dead. The fires were the deadliest to hit the United States in a century, claiming at least 115 lives, according to the latest provisional death toll. The tourist town of Lahaina, home to 12,000 people, was all but wiped off the map, with thousands of missing persons appearing on lists maintained by various organizations, including the police, Red Cross and shelter...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The head of Maui's emergency management agency -- who said this week he did not regret the decision to not sound powerful warning sirens as a deadly wildfire ripped through the Hawaiian town of Lahaina -- resigned Thursday. Herman Andaya had come under criticism for not activating the island-wide network as fast-moving flames bore down on the city, with survivors saying they had no warning of the blaze. Many of those who were killed are believed to have been trapped in their homes or caught in their cars as they made a desperate last-minute bid to escape. At least 111 peopl...

Kahului (United States) (AFP) - President Joe Biden will head to Hawaii next week to meet with survivors of a horrific wildfire and first responders still hunting for bodies, the White House said Wednesday as the first victims of the tragedy were named. Last week's fire levelled the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui and was the deadliest in the United States in more than a century. The death toll of 106 is expected to rise over the coming days. Only five victims have been identified so far, two of whom were named by Maui County officials as Robert Dyckman, 74, and 79-year-old Budd...

Kahului (United States) (AFP) - Surrounded by flames on Hawaii's scenic Lahaina boardwalk with cars exploding in the heat around her, Annelise Cochran decided jumping into the sea was her only choice. "It was seconds. And it almost didn't feel like a decision that I was really making. Because there only seemed to be one option," Cochran told AFP six days after surviving a raging wildfire that destroyed the small resort community on Maui's west coast. The 30-year-old, an experienced swimmer who works for the non-profit organization Pacific Whale Foundation, lost neighbors and friends -- as well...

Kahului (United States) (AFP) - The death toll in Hawaii's wildfires rose to 99 and could double over the next 10 days, the state's governor said Monday, as emergency personnel painstakingly scoured the incinerated landscape for more human remains. Last week's inferno on the island of Maui is already the deadliest US wildfire in a century, with only a quarter of the ruins of the devastated town of Lahaina searched for victims so far. Governor Josh Green said more fatalities are certain, as emergency responders with cadaver dogs work their way through hundreds of homes and burned-out vehicles. ...
