The tragedy has raised concerns over the efficiency of the state's warning systems, as many residents received inadequate alerts, leaving them little time to react to the raging fires. 夏威夷毛伊島遭受了一場毀滅性野火襲擊，造成至少55人喪生，並摧毀了一座歷史悠久的小鎮。這場悲劇引發了人們對該州警戒系統效率的擔憂，因為許多居民收到的警報不足，使他們在面對熊熊大火時沒有足夠的時間做出反應。 Hawaii's emergency management system, which boasts a network of around 400 sirens, was unable to prevent the catastrophe. The records show that warning sirens remained silent, and instead, alerts were dispatched to mobile devices, televisions, and radio stations. However, these alerts were hampered by widespread power and cellular outages, limiting their reach and effectiveness. 夏威夷的緊急管理系統擁有約400個警報器，然而這場災難並未被阻止。記錄顯示，警報器保持沉默，取而代之的是將警報發送到移動設備、電視和廣播電台。然而，這些警報受到大規模停電和手機信號中斷的影響，限制了它們的傳播範圍和效果。 Survivors recount their experiences, revealing a lack of prior warning, with many realizing the danger only when flames engulfed their surroundings or explosions echoed nearby. This tragedy marks Hawaii's deadliest natural disaster since a devastating tsunami struck the region in 1960, leaving Governor Josh Green to fear that the death toll could rise further as search and rescue operations continue. 倖存者們回憶了他們的經歷，揭示了缺乏事前警告，許多人只有在火焰吞噬周圍或附近傳來爆炸聲時才意識到危險。這場悲劇是夏威夷自1960年一場毀滅性的海嘯襲擊該地區以來最致命的自然災害，州長喬許·格林擔心隨著搜救行動的繼續，死亡人數可能會進一步上升。 The situation is exemplified by the story of Thomas Leonard, a 70-year-old retired mailman from the historic town of Lahaina. The absence of real-time information due to power and cell phone outages left him unaware of the fire until he smelled the smoke. As he attempted to escape, he had to abandon his vehicle and flee on foot amidst exploding cars. Hours of harrowing sheltering behind a seawall followed, with ash and cinders swirling around him. Eventually, firefighters arrived to lead him and other survivors to safety. 這種情況以湯馬士·萊昂納德的故事為例，他是來自歷史悠久的拉海納小鎮的70歲退休郵差。由於斷電和手機信號中斷，無法獲得實時信息，他直到聞到煙味才察覺到火災。在試圖逃脫時，他不得不放棄車輛，徒步逃離，周圍的汽車不斷爆炸。他躲在海堤後面度過了數小時，被熱風中的灰燼和火山灰環繞。最終，消防員趕到，將他和其他倖存者帶到安全地帶。 The fires were fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, resulting in multiple wildfires igniting across Maui. One of the most severe blazes transformed Lahaina into a scene of devastation, reducing it to rubble and ashes. The aftermath saw charred remains of buildings and torched palm trees, leaving an eerie landscape between the ocean and lush greenery. 乾燥的夏季加上過境的颶風強風助長了火勢，導致毛伊島各地燃起野火。其中最嚴重的一場大火將拉海納燒成了一片廢墟，只剩下瓦礫和灰燼。事後，建築物的殘骸燒焦，棕櫚樹被燒毀，在海洋和郁郁蔥蔥的綠地之間的留下了一片陰森恐怖的景象。 Despite boasting an extensive emergency warning infrastructure, the quick and unpredictable nature of the fires overwhelmed the response efforts. Maui County's hazard mitigation plan, recognizing the area's wildfire risk, cited the high number of households without vehicles and non-English speakers, which hindered timely alerts and swift actions during crises. 儘管擁有龐大的緊急警報基礎設施，野火的迅速和不可預測性仍然使救災工作不堪重負。毛伊縣的災害緩解計劃清楚的理解該地區的火災風險，指出了沒有交通工具的家庭和非英語使用者的數量較多，這點妨礙了在危機時期的及時警報和迅速行動。 Compounding the issue, the Maui Fire Department's limited staff and resources presented challenges in controlling the fires. With just 65 firefighters managing three islands and without off-road vehicles, containing the fires before they reached populated areas proved difficult. Hurricane Dora's fierce winds further complicated firefighting efforts, resembling a battle against a relentless blowtorch. 除此之外，毛伊島消防局有限的人力和資源也在火災控制方面受到挑戰。僅有65名消防員管理三個島嶼，並且沒有越野車，因此很難在火災蔓延到人口密集區之前將其控制住。颶風多拉帶來的狂風使滅火工作變得更加複雜，彷彿與無情的火焰噴射器在進行一場作戰。 In response to this tragedy, President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in Maui, promising swift assistance to those affected. As the island grapples with the aftermath of these wildfires, questions arise about the adequacy of warning systems, the importance of community preparedness, and the need for bolstered firefighting resources to prevent such devastating incidents in the future. 面對這場悲劇，喬·拜登總統宣布毛伊島發生重大災難，承諾向受災民眾提供迅速的援助。毛伊島在處理野火後的餘波時，人們開始質疑警戒系統是否充分，社區準備的重要性以及增強滅火資源的需求，以防止未來發生類似的災難性事件。 Reference article: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/10/fires-burn-through-hawaii-at-least-36-people-have-died-on-maui.html

Wildfires on Hawaii's island of Maui have killed at least 55 people and destroyed a historic town, officials said. The number of deaths is expected to rise even higher. Officials said it will take years to rebuild Lahaina, the one-time capital of the former kingdom of Hawaii. Governor Josh Green said the fire was the worst natural disaster in the state's history, making thousands of people homeless and burning as many as 1,000 buildings. In 1960, a tsunami killed 61 people in the state. "It's going to take many years to rebuild Lahaina," Green said at a Thursday news conference.官员称，夏威夷毛伊岛的野火已造成至少 55 人死亡，并摧毁了一座历史城镇。预计死亡人数还会进一步上升。官员们表示，重建前夏威夷王国的首都拉海纳需要数年时间。州长乔什·格林表示，这场火灾是该州历史上最严重的自然灾害，导致数千人无家可归，并烧毁了多达 1000 栋建筑物。1960年，一场海啸导致该州61人死亡。“重建拉海纳需要很多年的时间，”格林在周四的新闻发布会上说。Lahaina was once the home of King Kamehameha, who united Hawaii under a single kingdom. Kings and queens are buried on the grounds of the 200-year-old stone Waiola Church, one of burned sites. Lahaina draws 2 million visitors each year, or about 80 percent of the island's visitors. Fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, at least three wildfires burned on Maui this week. Maui Fire Department Chief Brad Ventura said one fire moved so fast that it was impossible to warn people of the emergency. “What we experienced was such a fast-moving fire ... they were basically self-evacuating with fairly little notice,” Ventura told the Associated Press.拉海纳曾经是卡美哈美哈国王的故乡，他将夏威夷统一为一个王国。国王和王后埋葬在拥有 200 年历史的怀奥拉石砌教堂内，该教堂是被烧毁的遗址之一。 拉海纳每年吸引 200 万游客，约占全岛游客的 80%。 由于夏季干燥和飓风过后的强风，毛伊岛本周至少发生了三场野火。 毛伊岛消防局局长布拉德·文图拉 (Brad Ventura) 表示，一场火灾蔓延速度如此之快，以至于无法向人们发出紧急情况警告。文图拉告诉美联社：“我们经历的是一场如此快速蔓延的大火……他们基本上是在几乎没有注意到的情况下自行撤离。”Thousands of visitors and locals were evacuated from the western side of Maui, which has a year-round population of about 166,000. Locals sheltered on the island or the neighboring island of Oahu. And visitors gathered in Kahului Airport, waiting for flights back home. Some people fled the immediate danger by jumping into the Pacific Ocean. Among them was Vixay Phonxaylinkham, a visitor from Fresno, California. He said his family was trapped in a car as the fires neared, forcing the family to jump in the water. They held onto pieces of wood to stay above water. "We floated around for four hours," the man told Reuters from an emergency shelter. "It was a vacation that turned into a nightmare. I heard explosions everywhere, I heard screaming, and some people didn't make it. I feel so sad," he said.毛伊岛西侧常年人口约 16.6 万，数千名游客和当地人被疏散。当地人在该岛或邻近的欧胡岛避难。游客们聚集在卡胡卢伊机场，等待回国的航班。有些人为了逃离眼前的危险而跳入太平洋。其中包括来自加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺的游客 Vixay Phonxaylinkham。他说，随着火势逼近，他的家人被困在车里，迫使他们跳入水中。他们抓住木块以保持在水面上。 “我们漂浮了四个小时，”该男子在紧急避难所告诉路透社。 “这是一个变成噩梦的假期。我到处都听到爆炸声，听到尖叫声，有些人没能活下来。我感到很难过，”他说。Many survivors suffered burns and other injuries. "It was so hot all around me, I felt like my shirt was about to catch fire," said Nicoangelo Knickerbocker, a 21-year-old from Lahaina. Knickerbocker heard cars and a gas station explode. He fled from the town with his father and the family dog. "It sounded like a war was going on," he said. Officials said Thursday that they have contained about 80 percent of the Lahaina fire. There was no immediate estimate for others. However, experts say the fires are likely to change Hawaii in unwanted ways. They include a threat to coral reefs, drinking water, and its soil. Wildfires, often caused by record-setting heat, have become more common around the world this summer. They forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in Greece, Spain, Portugal and other parts of Europe. In western Canada, several unusually severe fires sent clouds of smoke over a large part of the United States, polluting the air.许多幸存者遭受烧伤和其他伤害。 “我周围太热了，我感觉我的衬衫快要着火了，”来自拉海纳的 21 岁年轻人尼科安杰洛·尼克博克 (Nicoangelo Knickerbocker) 说道。尼克博克听到汽车和加油站爆炸的声音。他带着父亲和家里的狗逃离了小镇。 “听起来就像一场战争正在进行，”他说。官员周四表示，拉海纳大火已控制住约 80%。其他人无法立即做出估计。然而，专家表示，火灾可能会以意想不到的方式改变夏威夷。其中包括对珊瑚礁、饮用水及其土壤的威胁。通常由创纪录的高温引起的野火今年夏天在世界各地变得更加常见。他们迫使希腊、西班牙、葡萄牙和欧洲其他地区的数万人撤离。在加拿大西部，几场异常严重的火灾给美国大部分地区带来浓烟，污染了空气。

You don't have to embrace conspiracy theories about how a lot of Maui just burned up to feel uneasy about plans the state government of Hawaii had for the island before the fire. A Hawaii Digital Government Summit scheduled for next month in Maui, suggests Governor Josh Green and his subordinates envision it becoming a Smart Island. The word “Smart” these days actually means “Control.” Smart Meters, Smart Appliances, Smart Cities, and most especially Smart Medical Cards, Vaccine Passports and other IDs, are means of turning over data, and ultimately decisions about your life, to somebody else. Inevitably, that will mean the government. If fundamentally transforming a tropical paradise into a digital gulag repels you, brace for what the “Smart People” behind giving the World Health Organization dictatorial powers have in mind for all of us.  Learn more at www.SovereigntyCoalition.org.

*) Russia says shot down Ukraine drones southwest of Moscow Russia's defence ministry has said it shot down three Ukrainian drones southwest of Moscow, the latest in a surge of aerial attacks near the capital. Ukraine launched the attack at 0200 GMT (5:00 am local time) using "three unmanned aerial vehicles on objects in the Kaluga region", the ministry said on Telegram. Kaluga's governor Vladislav Shapsha said there was no damage or injury to people or infrastructure. The air attack is at least the fifth this month over the Kaluga region that Russia says it has thwarted. *) Azerbaijan finds new mass grave in area liberated from Armenia Azerbaijan has discovered a new mass grave site in the city of Shusha in the Karabakh region, local media reported. According to state news agency Azertac, the remains of 17 people were uncovered in the territory of Shusha prison during excavations conducted between August 1-15 by Azerbaijan's State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons. In June, Azertac reported the discovery of a mass grave in the Saricali village of Agdam district, where the remains of four people were found. The Karabakh region has been the site of mass killings and burials since the First Karabakh War in the early 1990s during the Armenian occupation. *) UN says Taliban's restrictions on Afghan women 'crime against humanity' The United Nations has said that the International Criminal Court should recognise gender discrimination in Afghanistan as a crime against humanity. UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown has said 54 of 80 edicts issued by the Taliban explicitly target women and girls and deprive them of their rights. The international community continues to grapple with how, and if, to engage with the Taliban authorities, with restrictions on women's rights being a key obstacle. *) Deadly clashes between rival militias in Libya leave 27 dead, authorities say Deadly clashes between rival militias in Libya's capital have killed at least 27 people and left residents trapped in their homes unable to escape the violence, medical authorities said. The fighting appears to be the most intense to shake Tripoli this year. Tensions flared on Monday after Mahmoud Hamza, a senior commander of the 444 brigade, was allegedly detained by rival group Special Deterrence Force at an airport in Tripoli, reports said. And finally… *) ​​Hawaii wildfire death toll exceeds 100 The number of people known to have died in the horrific wildfire that levelled a Hawaiian town has topped 100, the state's governor said, as a makeshift morgue was expanded to deal with the tragedy. Governor Josh Green has repeatedly warned that the final count from last week's inferno in Lahaina would grow significantly. The wildfire is already the deadliest in the US in over a century.

It's the 18th whale to die on East Coast beaches in 2023. Many environmental experts believe the uptick in deaths is linked to offshore wind development's use of sonar to map the ocean's floor which may prevent whales from communicating with one another while inhibiting accurate navigation.

With the general election less than a month away, candidates for governor are making their final pitches on why they would be best suited for the job to lead Hawaii. Hawaii's next governor will take office at a pivotal time in the state's history from the skyrocketing cost of living to the dearth of affordable housing Lt. Gov. Josh Green, the Democratic nominee, says he's the right person to “lead Hawaii forward.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Green first ran for office hoping to work on some of the issues he had seen first-hand as an emergency room physician. But his experience and expertise took on an unanticipated relevance during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in addition to his role as lieutenant governor, Green became Hawaii's Covid response liaison. In the first episode of the Hawaii season of The People's People podcast, Lt. Governor Green discusses his role in helping manage Hawaii's pandemic policies and the personal impact the virus had on him and his family. He tells journalist Lindsey Christ about his weekend work in the emergency room, and how his patients react to him now that he is a statewide leader. The wide-ranging conversation includes details about Green's childhood in Pittsburg and how he met his wife in Hawaii. And he is the first elected official to take the Hawaii lightning round, answering pressing questions like whether he prefers Spam or Portuguese sausage and whether he would choose brunch or pau hana.

He also answers random questions from listeners.

In a lengthy and frank discussion, Green warned that new restrictions could be coming if the daily case counts continue to rise. “If we are here next week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and we're still seeing 150 to 200 cases a day, that's a number that's not sustainable as far as taking care of patients three weeks later,” Green said. “My advice will have to be to the Governor to do the full shutdown and go back to a four week period of stay at home, if that's the number. The reason for that is that it worked.” Green says the state is ramping up contact tracing efforts, increasing the number of staff to 200, along with adding volunteers and the National Guard. He says officials are meeting today to work out more details. On the subject of education, the Lt. Governor says he does not expect full in-person learning to resume in the first quarter of the school year, and says that parents should plan for the possibility of distance learning for the rest of the calendar year. Green also spoke about the challenges of meeting the health needs of the Pacific Islander community, which has seen a disproportionate number of COVID-19 cases. And he emphasized that young people, particularly millennials, who may not be as impacted by the virus physically, still need to take social distancing and mask-wearing mandates seriously. “The business community and the economy will stay closed as long as we have high cases, and they will be unemployed. They will not be able to afford housing. They will not be able to afford cars. They will not be able to afford their education because they will not be able to go back to work. And they may kill their grandparents,” he explained. “So the combo of those things should be enough to kind of chill and not spread the virus for a month.”

He also answers listeners questions regarding testing, quarantine, penalties for quarantine breakers, and the challenges residents are having in light of opening up our local economy. The LG also talks about the recent uptick in Covid-19 cases in Hawaii and the rest of the nation. He answers the question, at what point does the state look at the increases in cases and say "that's enough, we have to change things"?
