Years ago, we were under a tsunami watch and I was able to convince my family to evacuate to a friends house on the mountain. The tsunami never came but the same feelings of fear have stayed with me into adulthood. We had another fire break out in Kaanapali today. Thankfully, the sirens sounded and people evacuated but I believe our community is now largely steeped in catastrophizing. It’s hard not to feel that way after what happened in Lāhainā but I wonder how this will affect us in the years to come.
