Along with all the natural disasters we face; Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and floods… it would be an understatement to say we weren’t prepared enough for that.Momoa also added some reflections on destruction.

It’s as if the city was bombed,” he said. “I can’t believe this is happening and I’m praying for all the missing people to get their ‘ohana’. This is the worst tragedy I’ve ever experienced. We are rebuilding this historic city while honoring Lahaina’s CIA.

According to CNN, the head of Hawaii’s Department of Transportation said last week that non-essential travel to Maui is not recommended” and urged non-essential tourists to head to Maui.

Momoa is also asking people to donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation Maui County Strong Fund if they want to help the thousands of local people displaced by this disaster. About 1000 people are still missing.

“Many families had to flee in a short time, and many fled with only clothes on their backs,” he added. “Information about the wounded and dead keeps coming.

The town of Lahaina is gone. Many areas of Maui were also affected. We will continue to send prayers to this wonderful community.Chaos and storms caused by storms cause fires.

Reports say the fire quickly spread to the city and residents received little warning.The photos show the popular and historically important city turned to ash.President Joe Biden also endorsed Hawaii’s declaration of disaster on Thursday.
