Further to my previous post, what is the likelihood that when these areas are rebuilt, the planners and builders etc take in to consideration the environment and:

Replace roads with road / tracks for trams to reduce traffic, make it so people can move around without the need for cars AND OR
Replace gas stations with electric car charging points
Ban the sale of Gasoline powered cars
Build all new homes with electric car charging points
Somehow design the towns with fire breaks, how about canals which are of course water, these could break up the town with water, which may in theory stop or at least slow down spread of fire
Build all new homes with solar panels and other energy saving designs so that everything is super efficient
Build more turbines or make use of water / hydro electric power, esp given Hawaii is an island

And other ideas that going forward will help the planet.
