As crews search through the wreckage of the Maui wildfires, Hawaii's governor is warning that "a lot" more fatalities are expected. "We do expect to see a lot more loss of life," Gov. Josh Green told Honolulu ABC affiliate KITV on Tuesday. "It's going to be tragic. I want to brace everyone for that." Note: Just as Uvalde was fully prepared for a school shooting per the generally accepted (federal/DHS) training and readiness standards, there’s nothing to suggest Maui was not completely up to meeting the all hazards readiness standards for what it faced. In other words, what’s been ‘acceptable’ is truly unacceptable, and the litany of horrific losses in “preventable disasters” has a common core. Over the last two decades, DHS funding has dominated emergency preparedness activities, supplanting state and lical efforts (and $$) with imposing generic national standards aimed at the lowest common denominator and training where everyone does well without feeling challenged (or too often not feeling any smarter or better skilled). Lahaina is the ever so predictable result, as was Uvalde.
