Thank you, Joe. Now that $700 per household is not enough though. You find some more money for them.

As residents of Hawai'i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them.
Like I've said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them.
Here's the latest:

-
@FEMA’s Temporary Sheltering Assistance is now available for residents who were displaced from their homes by the wildfires, allowing survivors to shelter in hotels or motels temporarily as they develop a long-term housing plan.
-
We're laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.
We have staff on the ground dedicated to helping survivors navigate the registration process.
-
We're making sure all residents receive critical information so they can take steps to move forward in their recovery.
This includes translating materials into the most common languages spoken in the islands and working closely with trusted community-led organizations.
-
I'm urging residents to apply for FEMA assistance.
Survivors with internet or telephone access can register for assistance by visiting http://DisasterAssistance.gov, calling 1-800-621- 3362, or by using the FEMA App.

And for those trying to locate loved ones, a Family Assistance Center is open at the Kahului Community Center.
Those with phone access can also call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.
