The emergency management community and average citizens are always interested in the disaster response aspect of a catastrophe. That interest fades dramatically as a disaster transitions to the recovery phase. With that in mind, this podcast takes a more in-depth look at the policy implications of the recovery phase of the Maui Firestorm of 2023.  The guest for this podcast is Luke Meyers, the Disaster Management Coordinator for the State of Hawaii, who works for the Governor. For the Maui disaster he is the State Disaster Recovery Coordinator.

Previously Luke has worked in local emergency management at the city and county levels, serving as a planner, mitigation planner and city emergency management director. He previously served as the Hawaii State Emergency Management Director. You can listen to a previous podcast with Luke at Hawaii Emergency Management.
