Attention Hawai'ian friends and Ohana! There have been over a dozen fires in Hawai'i this week alone, with at least 3 on Kauai, and 11 on Maui in just 24 hours!!

Also, we have a book coming out about the Lahaina Maui fire called "SOUND THE ALARM", that I co-authored with Shane and Stephanie Pierucci, the author of "Burn Back Better"!

On Monday, July 22nd, 2024 at 9:16am MFD personnel were dispatched to the report of a brush fire in the vicinity of Piihana Road and Kahekili Highway. Crews arrived to find multiple areas of brush burning from as many as six initial ignition locations. Crews extended lines and water tankers were used to contain the fires. As a result of the fires, approximately 45 homes along Piihana Road were evacuated, with precautionary evacuation messages sent to residents of Happy Valley and Wailuku Heights. Forward progress of the fires was stopped by 11:36am, and the fires were fully contained by 2:45pm. Crews remain on the scene to continue mopping up the area. All evacuations were lifted just after 1:00pm. Arson is suspected to be the cause of this fire complex.

As it turns out, the Maui Island Plan also includes plans for a "Project District" in the exact same area that the fire started, near Piihana Road and Kahekili Highway!

This is just another of many fires that have occurred in zones that were scheduled for redevelopment according to “Smart” or “Sustainable” growth principles that were introduced by the U.N.’s “Sustainable Development Goals for 2030” (SDG 2030) and adopted by cities and counties world-wide, especially across the State of Hawai’i. The fact is that every Hawai’ian island has been included in the “State of Hawai’i Strategic Plan for Transit-Oriented Development”, which aims to redevelop each of the islands and their cities into Smart islands and Smart cities, just like they are trying to do with Lahaina on Maui. These plans also exist for virtually every other city and county in the U.S. as well as every N.A.T.O. country in the United Nations.

If you’re interested in finding smart city plans near you, start with their Strategic Plans for “Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Corridors,” “Long Range Transit Plans,” “Community Corridors,” “Commercial Corridors,” “Smart Grids,” “Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUIs),” “Ecobarrios,” “Smart Tourism Destinations,” “15-minute cities,” "2030 General Plans", and anything labeled “Smart,” “sustainable,” “carbon neutral,” or “zero carbon.”
