KIHEI, Hawaiʻi – For survivors of the Maui wildfires, navigating disaster resources is critical to their recovery. With the wide variety of languages spoken in Hawaiʻi, many survivors require interpreters to access the information they need. Language interpretation is one of a long list of services that the Federal Emergency Management Agency provides after a state receives a major presidential disaster declaration. FEMA staff identifies contractors to provide language, security, and janitorial services as well as supplies, everything from pencils to rental trucks and portable restrooms.
