Was Maui Disaster Preplanned?
Riss Flex reports that the Center For Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) hosted an emergency meeting in Hawaii three months ago for all of the state’s senior elected officials to discuss how to prevent a catastrophic disaster in the state, such as the wildfire that devastated Maui.
The CHDS described the event as a “calibrated unified command during dynamic incidents” in preparation for hurricane season. Ironically, Flex points out, the event’s guest speaker was Matthew Pontes, director of wildfire and fuel management. The meeting, which was attended by officials from all four Hawaii counties, also included simulation exercises of catastrophic scenarios. More with Flex.
