There has been a great deal of support coming out for those impacted by the fires in Maui. Some people are missing, some have lost their lives, some have lost everything that they have.

Is this the deadliest natural disaster in Hawaii history?

Some reports have suggested that this might be the deadliest natural disaster that has happened in Hawaii with the number of people who have lost their lives from it and the impact the fires have had.

Some residents say that they had very little warning before the fires grew and overtook certain regions. The rebuild efforts are going to cost a great deal, some estimates place that cost around $5 billion or more as a result of the devastation that has been endured by the region.

Search efforts have continued as they look to assess the complete impact that the fires in Maui have had. Very quickly there were residences completely destroyed and many have lost everything, including their loved ones in this devastating event. Some hotel rools have allegedly been considered as a possible temporary solution for helping to offer shelter to those fire survivors. There are also other people around the world who have been reaching out to offer support.
