But despite the widespread damage in Lahaina, more remains at risk. As recovery efforts continue, Hawaii residents have urged tourists to stay away and slammed them for clogging roads and delaying supply deliveries. For example, one person made a viral spreadsheet of more than 1,000 verified Lahaina residents that included their stories, what they needed, and how to pay them directly. Many Lahaina residents in the spreadsheet detailed their needs for food, clothes, and shelter after losing everything in the fire. Despite his efforts, Green acknowledged that his move to protect local landowners would likely face legal challenges.

☆ Hawaiian Electric shares drop 30% on concern about potential liability from Maui wildfires

A Mercy Worldwide volunteer makes damage assessment of charred apartment complex in the aftermath of a wildfire in Lahaina, western Maui, Hawaii on August 12, 2023. Shares of Hawaiian Electric tumbled more than 35% on Monday amid Wall Street concerns about the company's potential liability in the Maui wildfires. On Saturday, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the utility company, which oversees Maui Electric, that alleged the destruction "could have been avoided" if the company shut down its power lines before the high winds hit, NBC News reported. At least 96 people have died in what is now the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. Wells Fargo subsequently lowered its price target on the stock to $25 per share from $35 on Sunday.
