HONOLULU (KHON2) — President Biden has approved more federal funding to help with Maui fire relief.
Under his order the Federal Government will cover 100% of the eligible costs for debris removal over a 180-day period.
The president also authorized more funds for emergency protective measures.
Also on Friday, the number of unaccounted-for individuals continues to drop.
The Maui Police Department updated the number of missing people to 22, down from 31 last week.
