FEMA personnel, deployed to aid in the recovery of the Lahaina wildfire, have been reported to reside in luxury hotels in Maui, while locals ravaged by the disaster stay in shelters and government-funded hotels. Despite the public outcry, FEMA defends its actions claiming it negotiated the lowest possible rates due to the scarcity of available lodging. They also highlighted their need to have all responders centrally located for efficiency, even though the mentioned luxury hotels are miles away from the recovery site.
