Hawaii Nears $4 Billion Settlement for 2023 Maui Wildfire

Governor Josh Green anticipates finalizing the agreement by early August, just before the fire's one-year anniversary.

Over 600 lawsuits have been filed in connection to the wildfire that devastated Lahaina and killed 102 people.
Governor Green has been actively involved in the settlement process, even while traveling out of state.
A judge-appointed mediation process has been ongoing since the spring to facilitate the settlement.
Previous large-scale wildfire settlements, like those in California, have taken years to resolve.
The proposed settlement aims to supplement the $3 billion already provided by insurance to aid in the recovery.
