A lesson from Maui’s devastating fires.
While the cause of Maui’s heartbreaking fire remains under investigation, this much is clear: It will forever be remembered as one of the greatest disasters in U.S. history. The death toll, 114 as I write this, will certainly soar, given the fact that some 1,000 people remain missing.
In cases like these, people often have mere minutes — if that — to flee, if an escape route is even available to them. I often think about my own family and what we would do if, God forbid, we found ourselves in a similar situation. The documents of my life — and of my family’s life — are in that box. If we ever had to get out in a hurry because of some sort of calamity, I’d have everything important in one box that I could grab in seconds.
There are no guarantees of anything, but having everything in that box at least gives me the sense that I’ve done my best. This helps me sleep at night.
