What to know about the Maui fires, damage and death toll

Scores of organizations are on the ground in Maui helping with the crisis. Those who want to help can give to Maui United Way, which is accepting donations to provide direct relief to families and local nonprofits; the Maui Food Bank, which is providing meals for thousands of displaced residents; or many other organizations that are accepting donations.

The Post reported Saturday that many of the boats laden with relief supplies reaching Maui were not sent by a federal or state agency but by residents, led mostly by Native Hawaiians who have been coordinating a large-scale disaster relief effort serving those in need. As the response has continued, the greatest needs have shifted. Generators, fuel and Starlink satellite internet systems would be most useful, volunteers say.
