The Maui Wildfire Exposure Study (MauiWES) has received an additional $2.3 million in funding from the State of Hawai‘i to enhance its research on the long-term health and social impacts of the devastating Maui wildfires. This funding will increase the study's participant base to 2,000 individuals, with a particular focus on children and first responders, and will establish a comprehensive survivor registry aimed at tracking up to 10,000 survivors. Led by researchers from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, the study offers extensive health screenings and aims to deepen the understanding of both acute and chronic health effects of the wildfires. Hawai‘i Gov. Josh Green expressed strong support for this initiative, emphasizing the importance of addressing health challenges faced by those affected by the disaster. The survivor registry will monitor the long-term impacts on participants over several years, ensuring that no one is left behind. The MauiWES has already published a report detailing significant health declines among participants since the wildfires.
