By THALIA BEATY (Associated Press) While rescue and emergency operations continued Thursday at the deadly wildfires that swept across the Hawaiian island of Maui, many people are already looking for ways to support the response and provide relief to those affected. The full extent of the damage and the recovery needs may not be known for up to a week, said Regine Webster, vice president of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, and she urged people to be patient before deciding where to give their support. “You literally have to wait for the firefighters to complete their work before that damage assessment can be fully realized,” she said. Philanthropy experts recommend giving to experienced organizations that are well-situated to respond to a specific disaster.
