KE ALA HOU, "A NEW PATH FORWARD" - GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE ([link removed])
[link removed]

February 8 marked the six-month anniversary of the Maui wildfires. As we continue to work towards recovery, I was able to visit the island again and witness firsthand the efforts of many hands on the ground. While there, I attended a long-term recovery meeting with Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen, FEMA, and other federal agencies and stakeholders to discuss the progress being made on Maui. I’m grateful that all partners continue to work towards the building of longer-term transitional housing options for our Maui survivors. (Read more) ([link removed])

The order invites state employees to take a survey from the Office of Wellness and Resilience (OWR) to help determine what is needed to provide trauma-informed and healing-centered care to the people they serve – and this starts with supporting our own staff’s wellness and resilience.
