Roughly 1,000 to 1,100 individuals are still unaccounted for in the aftermath of the Maui wildfires, according to island officials.
Recovery efforts are underway in Maui, but county officials revealed on Tuesday that at least 1,000 individuals remain unaccounted for at this point. The good news, however, is that 1,400 more individuals who were previously reported as missing or unaccounted for have since been identified as safe.
According to Maui County's update:
Quote:

Both numbers are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future as additional reports of unaccounted for individuals are submitted, and for as long the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Maui Police Department (MPD) and other law enforcement agencies continue to work diligently to make contact with individuals who have already been reported unaccounted for.
The county is asking individuals to report anyone unaccounted for to the Maui Police Department (MPD). Individuals are also asked to contact the FBI if they come in contact with an individual who has been reported as missing so that person can be removed from the list.

Tell me the remains are of children without telling me the remains are children.

Lahaina schools having problems reenrolling (or signing up for distance learning) children after the fire. Go to page 11. Over 2,000 out of 3,000 that were enrolled pre-fire, per school board report. That is not saying all of them are dead but that is scary number given the efforts they are making to find their students if you read the report.

Relatives tell us the schools in Hawaii are pretty bad. Can't imagine this disaster not impacting them even harder than a decently run district on the mainland. God bless.
Trump will fix it.

Had a relative who worked for Edison schools several years back and she was assigned to their schools throughout Hawaii to try to improve their curricula and teaching methods. As a blue-eyed blond (with loads of school administration and education degrees) she was treated like some meth head that wandered in off of the street by many of those teachers and administrators. Experienced pushback on all of her suggestions.

Their public schools are largely crap but I don't doubt they are trying their best to locate as many kids as possible. Just so sad.

Surely one of the officers would come forward and explain the barricade situation. Surely that would be the case, right? There has to be one good officer that would either confirm or deny it.

If that memo is true....I'm going to need someone to explain it to me. How is it respectful to the deceased, to not post a picture of a burned down tree/building?

When/Where have we ever stopped coverage of a natural disaster?
When's the last time a bunch of favored party politicians were responsible for killing a thousand Americans, reportedly 80% of which are children?


Just an average week for Planned Parenthood, but I digress...

This is disgusting. This is a blatant attempt to bury this story and hide evidence of what happened and what continues to happen. It should remind many of another incident where media blackout was "requested".

The American government is broken seemingly beyond all repair, unless the Liberty Tree gets watered. Sadly, I don't know if the earth has that much water.

Weren't people on social media documenting the situation first hand?

Where do they get the idea that Russia and China had anything to do with it?

Is that the default response nowadays or what?

If it weren't for Elon buying Twitter no one would probably know there was a devastating wildfire.

Now that it's been a few weeks, I thought it was worth re-visiting the number of fatalities. Right now the official number of deaths is 97 with 31 still missing.

What are you implying? That the government was behind 9/11? In hindsight the security at the south tower made the wrong decision but they had no idea that UA175 was on its way to hit that building and there were concerns evacuating that tower would impede the evacuation of the hit north tower.

The Maui wildfire victims landed a $4 billion settlement regarding the August 2023 fires, the governor's office announced Friday.

Seven defendants, including the state of Hawaii, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom and Spectrum/Charter Communications, will compensate all those who filed claims, and the settlement resolves over 450 lawsuits, according to a press release from Democratic Hawaii Gov. Josh Green. The August 8, 2023, wildfire resulted in the death of 102 people and damaged more than 3,000 structures in Lahaina, The New York Times reported.
