HONOLULU — Gov. Josh Green ordered the U.S. and Hawaii state flags be lowered to honor the 102 lives lost in the Aug. 8, 2023, Maui wildfires.

The flags will be flown at half-staff at the Hawaii State Capitol and all state offices and agencies as well as the Hawaii National Guard from Thursday to Monday.  

“Exactly one year ago, we lost cherished lives of mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons, daughters and friends. As we observe the one-year mark of the Maui Wildfires through commemorative events this weekend, let’s honor their memories and never forget those we lost in Lahaina,” Green said in a statement. “Together, we will pave a path toward resilience and hope, preserve the spirit of Lahaina, and continue to rebuild with the community with strength and unity.”
