In order to opt-in to the Government-sponsored Consolidated Debris Removal Program, property owners must complete a Right-of-Entry (ROE) form to allow the US Army Corps of Engineers and their contractors to access their property to conduct the debris removal. No removal of non-hazardous, fire-damaged material will begin on private property without the permission of the property owner.

An online portal has been established for submitting a Right-of-Entry form. Choose a button below to get started in the portal.

Advice to help fill out Right-of-Entry

• Homeowners should be encouraged to list septic tanks, leach fields, survey monuments, cesspools, gravesites, or any other important structures when doing their ROE drawing.
• If property owners are unsure about the eligibility of material/items on their property or would like to keep certain items, it would be helpful to specify the material/item they would like to keep or specifically have removed from their property.
• Certain items may require additional eligibility determinations for removal, so when in doubt, it's better to document. For example, if the homeowner has an above-ground, fiberglass pool that was melted during the fire but is held up by a retaining wall, it would be beneficial to them to note that they would like the pool and retaining wall to be removed.

If your house did not burn down, but you have fire debris, what should you do?

• If your property did not burn down, but you still have fire damage, you would not be able to qualify for Private Property Debris Removal assistance to clean up your property.
• However, please contact Crisis Cleanup Hotline, 808-451-3102
• They can connect you with volunteers from local relief organizations, community groups and faith communities who may be able to assist with cutting fallen trees and ash sifting to find valuables. All services are free, but service is not guaranteed due to the overwhelming need. This hotline will remain open through December 22, 2023.
• Please note that this hotline CANNOT assist with social services such as food, clothing, shelter, insurance or questions about FEMA registration. Volunteers work free of charge and provide the tools and equipment necessary to complete the work. For more information visit http://blog.crisiscleanup.org/2023/08/hawaii-fires.html

My home is in the fire damaged area, but my home survived.  My home is currently uninhabitable.  I have items (e.g., carpet, beds, curtains, furniture, etc.) in my home that will need to be disposed of due to smoke damage.  Can that material be taken to the Central Maui Landfill?

Smoke damaged material will be allowed to be taken at the Central Maui Landfill or the Olowalu Transfer Station.  Any fire damaged/burnt material should be removed under federal assistance program through US Army Corps or as part of the homeowner's Alternate Opt Out plan.

Yes. USACE cannot access your property for debris clean up without permission. This

permission is in the form of a Right of Entry (ROE), which is being collected by Maui County. You can visit the Disaster Recovery Center at the Lahaina Civic Center or the Maui County building to sign up in person.
