Mālama Kula is an action-oriented, results-driven organization that was formed to provide disaster relief in response to the Kula Fire, but also also aims to address current challenges facing the Kula community. At the last board meeting of KCA Kyle Ellison, Executive Director, Mālama Kula, asked us to share the following links with our email list.
The Maui WES (Wildfire Exposure Study) will be taking place at Kula Lodge this Saturday, Feb 17, and here is the link to sign up: https://www.mauiwes.info
The Maui Wildfire Exposure Cohort Study, is the most comprehensive study to understand and mitigate the health and social impacts of the Maui wildfires. By joining this study, participants not only gain insight into their personal exposure risks but also contribute essential data that supports community resilience throughout the recovery phase.
We are recruiting adult participants living in Maui who were directly or indirectly affected by the Maui Wildfires. Participants who qualify and complete the questionnaire and health metrics will receive up to $100. The health metrics include saliva, urine, height, weight, blood pressure, and a small amount of blood (30ml or about 3 tablespoons).
The other link is for the free Kula Curbside Recycling program for HI 5 beverage containers, and you can sign up at this link: https://www.malamakula.org/kula-curbside-recycling
