Resignations and Reassignments Shake Maui's Emergency Management and Water Resource Administration

Maui County Emergency Management administrator Herman Andaya has resigned amid criticism over the island's response to deadly wildfires. Andaya's agency opted against using emergency sirens, which some residents believe could have saved lives. President Joe Biden has pledged federal support for recovery efforts, and Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez will appoint a third-party agency to investigate the government's response. Volunteers are providing aid to displaced residents, and Hawaii senior water manager Kaleo Manuel has been transferred to a different position.
