In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have swept through, and literally wiped out an entire town of homes and businesses (9.2 square miles with a 13,000+ population of primarily area workers who support the nearly 25,000 additional near daily tourist population . . . unimaginable challenges are now faced by those left homeless (estimated to be about 15,000+). There are an additional 5,000 to 7,000+ people who live just beyond the fire ravaged area, but who are also displaced by no utilities and being area landlocked behind the mandatory evacuation area.
Livable housing on Maui is a challenge in good times, and now with the instant homelessness of the approximate 15,000+ residents, a true crisis exists. Those that have escaped their fire ravaged homes lost everything and left with the clothing on their backs. Over 60 people have been confirmed as deceased, and nearly 1,000 remain unaccounted for.
Not only is there an uncertainty of where these ordinary, everyday people will lay their heads to sleep, shower, and eat . . . but most have medical supply needs such as pharmacy, equipment, and dietary.
We are Code Critical Logistics, here to help the displaced . . . we are a Global Carrier Network of associated companies which offers Time-Critical Transportation Services to meet client needs without compromise to Safety, Quality, Freshness, or On-Time Delivery Commitments.
Our primary focus has always been on movement of Urgent need Medical Supplies, Equipment, and Donor Organ Transports; although we do move whatever any individual or business has need to be moved quickly. We employ Air Transport, Sea Transport, Land Transport and are fortunate enough to own most of our own transport equipment (or have contracts for instant use of).
Our immediate mission is to bridge the gap between ‘needs’ and ‘availability’ and provide for any and all of the Logistics necessary (the coordination, pickup, transport, and delivery) to any critical need items that the displaced have urgent need for (ie; medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, including biohazard, and hazmat designated material. And while the nature of our business is highly individualized, it can be an expensive and daunting task for anyone to source, fulfill, transport and distribute. Some transports are advance stock in nature, but the majority are individually focused needs.
How you can help . . . we need your financial support. As you are aware, Fuel is Expensive, Labor is Expensive, Transport Assets are Expensive in original cost and in operations and maintenance, and there are transport fees assessed at ports, airports, docks and along the roads. Most of these residents in need are not wealthy, nor retired and maybe with less needs, but are mostly blue collar workers who just lost everything, and many who have lost their jobs as well.
We are appealing for you to continue to say prayers for all who are hurting and in distress, but also to find it in our hearts to donate to us, to help fund movement of containers of common needed items, as well as to support our urgent and time focused individualized transports from point a to point b, directly to the displaced.
