KĪHEI, Hawaiʻi (Feb. 10, 2025)—Councilmember Thomas Cook announced today he will host a South Maui community townhall on flood mitigation Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Malcolm Center.

The community gathering will offer residents a chance to voice their concerns and gain information on the progress of flood-prevention measures in the area, he said.
“I’m committed to keeping the community informed and engaged as we work together to address the flood risks in South Maui,” said Cook, who holds the South Maui residency seat. “This townhall is an opportunity for residents to learn about the ongoing efforts by his Office and community members and to share their concerns and offer input on how we can create long-term solutions to protect our homes and infrastructure from future flooding.”
Cook said residents are also encouraged to email his Office at Thomas.Cook@mauicounty.us to assist with the headcount for the event.
