California bracing for heavy rain and floods and a rare threat the state hasnt seen in decades. Some areas could see a years worth of rain in just one day because a hurricane is on its way. The Emergency Management chief resigns in maui as the emergency is still unfolding there. Crews are going through the ashes to try and locate additional victims, and residents are starting to try and piece their lives back together after the wildfires tore them apart. Im going to speak to one woman who lost her home, her business in this tragedy. Im kate bolduan with john berman and sara sidner. This is cnn news central. Happening now, President Biden is hosting an historic Trilateral Summit at camp david. With the president the leaders of japan and south korea. And the goal is clear to counterthreats from china and north korea. Priscilla alvarez live at the white house. What are the deliverables the white house wants out of these meetings . Reporter The Big Picture here, john, is they want to discuss those Regional Security challenges that you just alluded to. They want to discuss economic prosperity, as well as technological advancements. And john, it is the site of this summit that is also of significance and really underscores how important this is. This is going to happen at camp david. A site of historical diplomatic negotiations, and the first time that President Biden is convening foreign leaders at camp david for these talks. Now when we get into the details of this, this would include, according to Senior Administration officials, talks about annual military exercises, discussing intelligence sharing agreements, setting up a threeway hotline for the three to stay in close up to and coordination and organizing an annual Trilateral Summit. President biden has tried to foster these individual relationships with these countries, but this is the opportunity for the three to get together, to put their fraught history aside, and to talk about their shared interests, especially against the backdrop of those mounting Security Concerns with north korea and china. But what it is not, john, is there is no expectation that there would be a formal Alliance Commitment or a collective defense agreement. So the question coming out of this then is how much of this can be institutionalized and maintained not only over the course of this administration and in the near term, but also in the long term. What is clear is that what the point of discussion will be today is their shared interests as they have seen Security Concerns mount in the indo pacific. John . Yeah. Commitment to consult if any of these nations is talented directly in and of itself is fairly significant, and our viewers need to know japan and south korea historically getting them in a room like this is unusual and rare and has been very difficult. Priscilla alvarez, an new york day. Keep us posted. Thank you very much for that. Sara . We will be watching and im sure china will also be watching what happens at that summit. All right. Now to hawaii. Teams of the atf are on the ground in hawaii right now joining the investigation into what caused this these deadly fires. Just one of many developments coming out of maui. Overnight, the administrator of the Emergency Management agency resigned citing health reasons. Hes been criticized for not activating sirens to warn residents about the wildfire danger. A day before he stepped down, he defended that decision claiming that if residents heard the sirens, they would have fled to the mountains where the fire was more severe because theyre usually used for tsunamis. One State Senator ridiculed that claim. Ive heard the line that, oh, people would have panicked and ran up to the mountains because its a tsunami siren. The reaction of the community to that is utter disbelief. Its insulting that think that people would be that clueless that they wouldnt know that Sirens Blasting was because of the fire. For days youve been seeing the pictures of the fires that devastated lahaina, killing so far 111 people. There is still, though, more than 1,000 residents unaccounted for. The mayor of maui county tells cnn 45 of the scorched area has been searched. Joining me now is jeremy lee, reporters with cnn affiliate kitv. Thank you so much for joining us. Can you give us some sense of whats Happening Now and how residents are reacting to some of the new news that is coming about as the atf is there and that the official has stepped down who was supposed to be overseeing the emergency there. I spoke to a lot of residents and people who had to evacuate and flee that fire, and they told me the idea that they would have headed for the hills on hearing the siren was preposterous. There was a huge black cloud hanging over all of lahaina, coming toward them, pushing them north. So they its not a claim that they really understand. Now a lot has changed in the last 2 had hours. Weve 24 hours. B weve been cut off, ive been here for the last week, not only from the highway but communication. Just recently a lot head changed in the last 24 hours. More trucks like this, this is a starlink truck, have shown up at various hubs. Im at the plaza, a distribution and collection hub assisting those who have evacuated. Also, that highway, the highway which connects the mass that juts out from the main body of maui, its just a twolane highway, one lane in each direction, that was shut down for a number of days making it impossible for us to not only communicate but to get in and out of the region north of lahaina, including the Visitor Destinations of napeli, where i am now, up to kapalua. Jeremy lee, thank you so much for that. Thank you for giving us an update on communications there and the fact that that road, important road, is open now. Appreciate your time. Kate . And as we are learning, everyone on maui has their own story of loss in this tragedy. Joining us now is jess menina. Thank you so much for joining us. Were going to show pictures to everyone that you sent to us. You lost both your home and your business, which was a popular gift shop in maui. First, what has the last week been like for you . Theres honestly no words. We lost everything, so its been trying to navigate and stick together. All of our community is spread everywhere, all over the island. Its been hard, like your reporter said before, to be in contact with anybody on the west side at all. There were days that we didnt know if our families survived because we evacuated two completely different ways out of that twolane highway. So its been trying to piece our life back together and a lot of confusion. Theres still, as theres still maybe 1,000 or so people unaccounted for for the fires. You mentioned that it was days when you couldnt even be in touch with some of your family. I know that you mentioned to my producers how fearful you are now for some of your daughters friends. What are you hearing . Unfortunately, the winds were so bad that day that school was canceled for a lot of children. Fortunately my daughter was supposed to be starting on wednesday, the 9th, at king kameamea schedule. For others their children had to stay at home while they went to work. And as said before, the sirens were not let off. A lot of these people, not justice children, but elderly people had no idea what was going on. They could have had tvs on, they were home alone. I cant even imagine the heartbreak thats still going to come out. That just puts a pit in your stomach of what we could be learning in the coming days. Weeks, months, they say, it could even take to identify some of the remains that they are finding. You mentioned the warnings, were hearing it from other residents on the island, raising questions of why people why those outdoor sirens werent set off, why people were not able to get more of a warning. What kind of warning did you g get . Absolutely nothing. The winds woke us up at 4 00 a. M. That morning. They were not like any winds anybody in the years that have lived in maui has ever experienced. They were blowing things else off the roof, 200yearold plumeria trees rerooted, it blew the fence over. We decided to stay indoors. We were actually making vision boards, which is how my Storefsto Storefront On Maui became a thing. I drew it on a vision board ten years ago and just won best gift s store on maui. We looked outside and saw the smoke. This isnt the first fire weve had in the last six months, so we evacuated, six months ago, so we knew what to grab and what to do. We made a decision that it was time to leave. Our neighbors thought we were crazy. They thought the winds were going to be blowing, it would never come to lahaina. And we were all wrong. Theres a lot of what ifs that you think through in these after these tragedies. And what if you hadnt made that decision so quickly to get out . Thank god you trusted your instinct. I believe we would have been trapped, 100 . Yeah. There has been some criticism not just of the fact that there wasnt warnings, but now in the aftermath of this tragedy from some in the community about what they see as a slow and lacking response after all of this, from the government and from folks trying to help. President bidens going to be coming to hawaii on monday, and im wondering what you want him to see or what you want him to hear. I just hope that more of the truth comes out. A lot of whats being shown on the news isnt really whats happening here in maui. A lot of donations and things are being blocked by the red cross and fema, and so the ohana, the whole island of maui, has come together to help each other. I think everyones a little bit let down at the lack of response from our government. I cant really speak to anything that would be said to biden. Were all a little let down, honestly. I want to ask you, the fema administrator, she was on the ground i think they said 72 hours after after the fires started. She was on cnn on wednesday and asked about some of the questions around the response so far. She said she said this, jess, she said, there are a lot of Rou Resources on the island, but we have to be able to get substitute the community and help get that message out there. What do you think of that . I think theres a huge lack of communication. I think the people of this island are there has never been more community that ive seen in my life which is why i opened my shops here to cater that. The people have rallied together far more than any government has so far. Our walmarts and targets are empty because all of our people here on maui have gone to buy brandnew supplies for all of us who have lost stuff. And if it wasnt for them and these Donation Centers that fema and red cross have not set up, or our personal donations, we do have gofundmes and venmos set up, all of us personally, i wouldnt have food on my table. Its not direct money or direct funds or or food and donations like we really kind of need to see, and the maui people have come together in tremendous ways to make that happen. Jess, im so sorry that were meeting under these circumstances. You and your family and community, youve lost so much. Figuring out whats next is even it a tough thing to even ask. But i think when you talk about vision boards, theres a vision board needed for sure for so many people right now. Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Thank you. If you want to learn more about how you can help the victims of these wildfires, you can go to cnn. Com impact. John . This morning, a major categoryfour hurricane named hilary is headed toward california with winds of 145 miles per hour. Youre looking at live pictures. You see the dark clouds of this storm, menacing Cabo San Lucas now. The storm will pass over the peninsula and head right toward california. It is expected to weaken, but even so, a storm like this hitting where it is forecast to, it is extremely rare and extremely threatening. There are new flood alerts going out to places that have never been issued flood alerts like this before in the history of recording flood alerts. Meteorologist Allison Chinchar joins us now with the forecast here. What are you seeing . Right. We want to give you the update because we just got a brandnew update at the top of the hour from the National Hurricane center. And for the first time, the National Hurricane center has issued its very first Tropical Storm watch ever for the state of california. This is for mostly Southern California. It does include san diego, but stops just short of los angeles, continuing through orange county, not quite up through los angeles county. But its one of many watches and warnings that are out as you stretch through baja, california, down there, and its anticipation of the forward movement. Still a category four now. Winds sustained at 145 miles per hour, moving to the northwest at about ten miles per hour. We do anticipate this storm is going to maintain its strengths for a little bit longer before finally starting to weaken as it makes its way up along the baja, california, coast, before finally pushing into california. Most likely its just a Tropical Storm. The main reason for that is its going to be heading into much cooler water. And thats really going to allow for hilary to weaken considerably as we push into the weekend. The biggest concern out of this storm is going to be the rainfall across the southwestern u. S. You have the extremely rare high risk warning across portions of california, a much wider scope of a moderate risk that includes las vegas, stretching into san diego. The main concern is that rain. Widespread, two to four inches of rain total. But there will be some areas that could pick up eight to even ten inches of rain. And look at what happened to death valley, california, when they had just an inch and a half of rain last year. So we are definitely looking at some significant impacts from this through the weekend. Did i hear you right, this is the firstever Tropical Storm alert issued for Southern California . It is, in fact, the very first Tropical Storm watch ever issued for the state of california by the National Hurricane center, yes. Okay. Historic. Again, even if this does weaken, this is something this region does not see and reason to be careful. Thank you very much. Sara . Absolutely true. Having lived there, this is rare. All right.
