TL;DR Summary

Maui County officials in Hawaii have released a list of 388 people who are still unaccounted for after the devastating wildfires earlier this month. The list, validated by the FBI, is part of efforts to "un-duplicate" people reported missing. The number of missing had fluctuated throughout the week, but an additional 1,732 people have since been found safe and well. The release of the list aims to aid the investigation, although officials acknowledge it may cause pain for loved ones. Hawaiian Electric is facing lawsuits for allegedly sparking the wildfires, and Maui County has sued the utility for not shutting off power and failing to maintain equipment.
