THE Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Honolulu has postponed the scheduled August 11 to 13 outreach mission to Maui amid the wildfires which ravaged parts of the island.
According to the 2010 United States Census, over 8,000 Filipinos reside in Maui, making up 4.3 percent of the total population. The PCG, in an advisory, said the 'disaster has resulted in casualties, downed power and communication lines, and closure of certain roads.
' The postponement was in line with the emergency proclamation issued by Hawaii acting Gov. Sylvia Luke on Wednesday which 'discouraged non-essential air travel' to Maui, it added.The PCG also said Luke's directive would 'allow for an effective emergency response to the wildfires currently affecting the island.'The consulate said it will post an advisory on the new dates of the consular outreach mission to Maui once it is known.
