DESCRIPTION:
August 26, 2023—Wildfires have ravaged Hawaii's Maui and Big Island, resulting in at least 115 deaths, and over 2,200 buildings destroyed forcing thousands to evacuate, and wreaking havoc on the historic resort city of Lahaina. The exact causes of the fires, which began on August 8, 2023, are yet to be determined, though high winds and dry weather were forecasted, creating conditions ripe for wildfires. Winds from Hurricane Dora and a low-pressure system near Japan have contributed to the spread of the fires, along with dry vegetation and flammable non-native grasses comprising 26% of Hawaii's land. Lahaina, a famous beach resort city, has faced significant destruction. With the death toll and property destruction, the Lahaina Fire attained notoriety as the worst natural disaster in Hawaii's recorded history.
The U.S. Forest Service notes that nearly 85% of U.S. wildfires are human-caused, but less than 1% of fires in Hawaii are due to natural causes. July 2023 broke the global record as the hottest month ever recorded and has led to unusually severe wildfires globally, with scientists attributing the increased frequency and power of extreme weather events to climate change.
