USPS may resume delivery to rebuilt Lahaina homes, if conditions are met - Hawaii Public Radio

As Lahaina residents have been rebuilding their burned homes, many also installed new mailboxes, hoping their home mail delivery would resume. But the U. S. Postal Service has said it considers the rebuilt neighborhoods as new developments, which would get centralized delivery, rather than their former curbside service. That policy has received widespread pushback from Lahaina homeowners and lawmakers, who say fire survivors should, at a minimum, have the same services they did before the fire. Now, the postal service says it may reconsider that policy for Lahaina if certain safety measures are put in place. The information comes in response to a letter Mayor Richard Bissen wrote last month, requesting the USPS restore delivery. The USPS cites that challenges to safely accessing mailboxes in Lahaina are not a new issue. “Prior to August 2023, carriers reported difficulties safely accessing mailboxes from their vehicles, due to excessive street parking and sidewalks that were constructed after curbside mail delivery had been established,” the USPS stated in their letter, dated Oct. 9.

by Shelby Slaughter, KATUMon, October 19, 2026 at 4:39 PMUpdated Mon, October 19, 2026 at 8:50 PMRhoam Summer. (via Dwyer Williams & Cherkoss)The family of 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, the youngest victim of the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary, says he planned to dress as a bunny for Halloween. His family shared photos of Rhoam via their attorney. They described him as kind, helpful and a bright light in their lives. In a statement, they urged people to honor his memory by making art. “Please make art for him. Draw or paint. Use your hands if you can. Get messy. Rhoam was not a child art prodigy, but he had the purest heart and he put love into every scribble, splash of paint or smashed leaf he tried to shape,” the family said. RELATED: Community invited to send dinosaur, shark art for Rhoam Summer’s celebration of life"Rhoam was so so strong. The day he was born, his father gave him his first sink bath at the hospital. In the sink, Rhoam grabbed his dad’s hands and pulled himself up with his own strength," the family continued. "He climbed a ladder (3 step stool) when he was just 6 months old. He never stopped moving. He never stopped climbing. He could do anything.
