In early August 2023, a series of wildfires broke out in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Affecting the island of Maui, and to a lesser extent Hawaiʻi (also known as the Big Island), the wind-driven fires prompted evacuations and caused widespread damage. The proliferation of the wildfires was attributed to dry, gusty conditions created by a strong high-pressure area north of Hawai’i and Hurricane Dora to the south.
An emergency proclamation was signed on August 8, authorizing several actions, including activation of the National Guard, appropriate actions by the director of the Hawai’i Emergency Management Agency and the Administrator of Emergency Management, and the expenditure of state general revenue funds for relief of conditions created by the fires. By August 9, the state government of Hawai’i issued a state of emergency for the entirety of the state. On August 10, President Biden issued a federal major disaster declaration.
