Mayor announces resignation of Maui emergency management head after criticism over deadly wildfire response

Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen announced the resignation of Herman Andaya, head of the county's Emergency Management Agency.
Andaya faced criticism for not activating the emergency alert system during a recent wildfire that killed over 100 people.
The Maui wildfire was the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century, destroying over 1,700 buildings in the town of Lahaina.
There are calls for an investigation into Andaya's decision not to activate the emergency alert system.
Some are suggesting Andaya should face criminal charges over his handling of the emergency response.
