Lahaina Wildfire Recovery: Land Search Concludes, No More Survivors Expected

The search and rescue operation on land in Lahaina Town, where a deadly wildfire occurred, is now complete, and no more survivors are expected to be found. Governor Josh Green highlighted the significance of reaching this milestone and assured the public that efforts will continue to help people rebuild their lives. The fatality count remains at 115, and crews are assessing data to determine if remains belong to more than one person. The number of unaccounted individuals has been reduced to 388, with ongoing efforts to validate the exact number. FEMA assistance registrations have reached 11,010, and over 6,000 people are temporarily housed in hotels and Airbnb units. The next phases will focus on temporary and permanent housing, with the expectation of available resources, but challenges lie ahead.
