Herman Andaya, the Administrator of the Maui Emergency Management Agency, has immediately resigned. His job was to decide on water usage for the people.
During a press conference in Wailuku, Andaya responded to questions from reporters, explaining that he stands by the choice not to activate the sirens.
He justified this by pointing out that in Hawaii, sirens are mainly intended for tsunamis, not for wildfires. He also mentioned that the public is accustomed to seeking higher ground during siren alerts, and he worried that people would go "mountainside" if they heard the sirens.
Manuel, who has a degree in "Hawaiian Studies," has said that water should be "revered" instead of "used," and should only be shared after "true conversations about equity." https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-maui-emergency-management-agency-administrator-herman-andaya-resigns-after-choosing-to-not-sound-sirens-as-wildfires-raged?utm_campaign=64466
