asking, where is the aid. people need so much in lahaina, they need food and drinking water and shelter, they lost everything and as we see that aid coming in, gradually getting particularly to hard—hit areas, there is some frustration. it remains to be seen how that response is received in the coming days and we as it continues to come onto the island. we as it continues to come onto the island-— the island. thank you for that u date. the island. thank you for that update we — the island. thank you for that update. we will _ the island. thank you for that update. we will keep - the

press conference is supposed to be happening with the governor, josh green in a short while. we will bring that to you as it happens. as we have been discussing with each passing day, hearing more stories of survival from maori day, hearing more stories of survivalfrom maori residents forced to leave the flames. and north america correspondent is in maori. —— maui. videos of the disaster continue to emerge. this one shows lahaina's residents huddled in the water — the only place of refuge they could find — as the smoke and ashes from their burning town rained down upon them. hundreds are still listed as missing. the authorities say temperatures here reached 1,000 degrees. the task of both finding and identifying the bodies will take time, according to hawaii's governor, himself a trained doctor, speaking to us media. they will find 10—20 people per day, probably, until they finish. and it is probably going to take ten days. it is impossible to guess, really. the fire was so perilous, it took lives — it didn't leave survivors. some residents have been allowed to return to the charred remains of their homes. there is our bed. but beyond the physical destruction, there is a far deeper concern for those who survived — the fate of neighbours yet unaccounted for. i'm rattling her door, like, come out, but she has locked, so i can't answer it and bring her out because she's got locked. so i'm coughing at that point, i can't talk and now i can't see so i just stumble my way out. but, you know, i'm getting burned by embers. so i'm, like, if she's in there, you know, what are her chances to survive that? we are out of the water now. let's crossover where the governor is about to give a press conference. we ask kindly you operate with respect and kindness to each other. questions and answers will follow promptly after speaker follow prom ptly after spea ker remarks. follow promptly after speaker remarks. i would like to invite the governor to address you all today.

extraordinary stories all across maui and our state of people sheltering, dozens of individuals, taking families in as some of these services got on line. i'm going to break that down. i also want to break that down. i also want to talk about housing. a great length. as far as the disaster, there are 99 fidelity is that i confirmed. the chief of police will get into some of these details. in addition to that, the search goes on. describing the search goes on. describing the amount of territory that's more substantial than we found out yesterday. we had leaders all across the board helping our people. first and foremost, food and water. 0ver £1 million of food has been delivered. and food, water, diapers, baby formula. also co—ordinated donation centre has gone into place courtesy of the tenant governor. and with all of our state officials. would like to tell people if they would like to continue and we appreciate generosity. most important right now as financial resources.

we don't want people to think they are going to get housed and suddenly he asked to leave. it will be on 30 day increments. as i shared earlier, the scale of destruction is incredible. a bit more than when we were together. with the extra fatalities. also you know we are well over 2200 structures that have been destroyed, 86% of them were residential. the disaster relief is here. you saw fema, small business association, you've seen the outpouring of support. it's going to take time. it's going to take a lot of time. as you go through all of the territories in lahaina, they have to be very careful not to disrupt any homes there. because they really want to see. as the chief of police of the other day. that's why we being so careful. we address other questions about how to drive in and get through. we know it's frustrating but this pace will accelerate and go from stage zero, as the mayor and i discuss, stage zero is getting through all of the properties where those who have passed art. what when we get out of that, will be able to make everything a lot easier so in the coming days, will continue to give you comprehensive updates. emergency proclamations so we can get other services to people, the most recent of which is to get healthcare for individuals. so that people can get longer periods of their medications if they need them. we also allowed outside providers, physicians and nurses outside the state to have licenses here in hawaii and the practice and hundreds into the state, notjust with red cross but all of our services, the state and county because

returning. i also want to make it known as the governor mentioned, the conditions in lahaina is an impact zone is very dangerous and hazardous. we don't even know some of the hazards there. anyone deciding to go there will take some toxic chemicals, and other sources of things that you need. the last thing want to do is having a loss of life. because of curiosity. we ask that you heed that warning. the national guard, general logan will speak to the extreme number of assets. i would like our residents to know whether those are additional assets we are taking to protect you are on our island stop finally i'd like to talk about the family assistance centre which has been established at the community centre. grateful to the fbi, the red cross, our police officers as well as our folks
