A week after the fire started in Maui, there is a lack of help and information. FEMA is conducting search and recovery efforts, but with 1,400 people unaccounted for, finding remains is difficult as the fire was so intense that it melted metal. The National Guard is securing roads, while the police and fire departments are stretched thin. The community has organized relief efforts, with locals volunteering their boats, supplies, and time. The government has not deployed military assistance, despite being nearby. The tsunami warning system was not activated, leaving people unaware of the fire. The west side of the island is in desperate need of help, while the tourism industry continues on the other side. The community is exhausted and frustrated, relying on their own resources. Donations and support are appreciated as recovery will take a long time. The truth of the situation needs to be shared.

Last week, I appointed Bob Fenton as our Chief Federal Response Coordinator for long term recovery on Maui. He is a highly experienced emergency manager and has been in Hawaii since before the fires started. His role is crucial in leading our efforts to rebuild and recover from the recent events on the island.

The governor of Hawaii discusses the devastating impact of the fires in Lahaina, comparing it to a bomb and fire explosion. He mentions that all the buildings will need to be rebuilt, costing billions of dollars. The governor emphasizes the coordination between state, county, and federal support, which enabled them to quickly receive approval from the president to bring in resources. He also mentions that other governors have reached out to share their experiences with similar disasters in the context of global warming. The video concludes with a critique of the press conference, suggesting a focus on smart cities and ending with a mention of global warming propaganda.

The speaker states that the situation in Florida is tragic and they are trying to ascertain the exact number of victims with the help of their FEMA advisor. There is a discrepancy between FEMA's numbers and those used by locals. The speaker describes the photographs as stunning and notes the wide area affected. The government has provided everything they have and was on the ground ahead of time, working hard. They have already planned a significant amount of resources, even though they hadn't been asked for them yet.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for being here. We're addressing the issues in North Carolina from the hurricane that struck nearly four months ago. It's been mishandled, and we aim to fix it. After that, we'll head to Los Angeles to assess a fire situation that could have been managed better with proper water flow. Some of you may join us on the plane. There's uncertainty about who will be traveling with us, but I hope everyone makes it. I was surprised by Collins and Murkowski's decisions, and Mitch seems to always be a no vote. Today is a bit cold, but it's a beautiful day. We’ll be monitoring the situation closely, and I’m confident in our representation. We’ll also discuss tax breaks for Italy soon.

The president and First Lady Melania Trump met with Governor Gavin Newsom to discuss recovery efforts in areas affected by recent disasters. They emphasized the need for federal support and collaboration to address the significant damage, comparing the situation to wartime devastation. Both leaders expressed confidence in working together to ensure a speedy recovery and to prevent future incidents. They acknowledged the impact on lives and property and committed to taking necessary actions for restoration. The discussion highlighted the importance of federal assistance and cooperation between state and federal officials.

The speaker states that the governor of Florida has been cooperative and says he has gotten all that he needs. The speaker spoke to the governor and told him he is doing a great job. The speaker gave the governor his personal phone number to call. Every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledges what the team is doing. The speaker says they have a lot more to do.

Mister President, FEMA has effectively deployed thousands of personnel to assist us, operating a large center from 9 AM to 8 PM. However, managing such a vast disaster requires coordination. While California has a large population, the challenge lies in organizing resources effectively. FEMA's approach can lead to conflicts with local teams, and their processes can be slow and costly. Instead of relying solely on FEMA, we should expedite local permits to allow residents to rebuild quickly. Many individuals may struggle to finance their homes, and not everyone has the cash to rebuild after a disaster.

Good morning! We're working around the clock in Florida, the southeast, and Hawaii. I want to express my gratitude and acknowledge the efforts of my entire cabinet in our government's response to extreme weather events. We will be utilizing all available resources to address these challenges.

I'm committed to giving you more than any president before. We will streamline the permitting process; just coordinate with your state officials. The federal government is usually slower, but you already have the necessary permits. Brad, focus on getting those permits quickly. I plan to appoint Rick to represent me as we decide on the best approach, whether an individual or a commission. A strong individual is often more effective than a commission, which can get bogged down. It was an honor to meet your firefighters and police; they are brave and well-respected. I look forward to returning and supporting your cleanup efforts starting tomorrow at noon. Thank you all for your hard work.

We're mobilizing the Army Corps of Engineers to address urgent needs like fixing riverbanks and roads. I've instructed my team to prepare them for action. It's unclear why progress was slow under the previous administration, but we are now moving forward. In the last couple of days, we've made significant strides, and I assure you that we will provide the necessary resources and support throughout the rebuilding process. No American will be left behind.

Hi, Virginia. Thank you for the warm welcome despite the cold. I'm grateful for the support from North Carolina and committed to helping the state. I plan to visit Los Angeles to address their water issues, but first, I'm here in North Carolina. I want to express disappointment in FEMA, but I’m eager to work with the new governor and local congressmen, especially Michael Watley, to ensure everything goes smoothly. Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse have done incredible work, and I appreciate their efforts. Let’s take a look around and say a few words. Thank you all for your support.

Hello, everyone. We just left North Carolina, where significant progress is being made with the Army Corps of Engineers. The area has been severely impacted, and we're here to address the damage. I appreciate the governor's support as we work towards recovery. This situation is unprecedented, reminiscent of post-World War II devastation. We aim to implement permanent solutions to prevent future occurrences. The governor and I are committed to collaborating closely, as federal assistance will be crucial for recovery. I have full confidence that we can work together effectively. Thank you all for being here, and some of you will join us on the tour.

I will be signing an executive order to reform or possibly eliminate FEMA. FEMA has proven ineffective during crises, often complicating recovery efforts. When disasters occur, state governments should take charge rather than relying on FEMA, which lacks local knowledge and imposes unfamiliar rules. Historical examples from Louisiana and Texas show that states are more capable of managing disaster response. Therefore, we will recommend that FEMA be dissolved.

It's an honor to be here during such a sad time. Many homeowners I met want to rebuild and expressed their love for the area and its community. We recently visited North Carolina, which faced a similar disaster from flooding, and the damage was severe. Here, the resilience of the people is inspiring, and the fire department is impressive, with high physical standards. We took pictures together, and they even gave us helmets, which are quite heavy. I want to thank everyone for their efforts. Your governor and I had a positive discussion about working together to address the challenges ahead. The devastation is more extensive than I anticipated, even after seeing it on television.

We are beginning a journey to rebuild these communities, aiming to make them even better than before the fire.

I can take a couple of questions before I need to jump on a call. Right now, our focus is on addressing the historic wildfires impacting our state. These wildfires are among the worst we've seen, and we are working urgently to provide relief to those affected, particularly in Los Angeles. Our first responders are doing an incredible job to control and contain the fires while ensuring public safety. We are committed to supporting recovery efforts and will do everything possible as a legislature to assist those impacted by this disaster.

Bob Fenton, a renowned emergency manager, has been appointed as the Chief Federal Response Coordinator for the long term recovery efforts in Maui. He has been present in Hawaii even before the fires started.

I will sign an executive order to reform or possibly eliminate FEMA. FEMA has proven ineffective during crises, often complicating recovery efforts. When disasters occur, it's better for states to handle the situation directly rather than relying on FEMA, which lacks local knowledge and imposes unfamiliar rules. Historical examples, like those in Louisiana and Texas, show that states ultimately do the work needed. Therefore, we are considering recommending the dissolution of FEMA.

We're organizing a Marshall Plan to rebuild California, focusing on inclusivity for all affected communities. Discussions are underway with city leaders, civic leaders, business leaders, nonprofits, and labor leaders to coordinate recovery efforts. We're exploring philanthropy for recovery, seeking federal assistance for both the Olympics and rebuilding efforts, and galvanizing community support. Our goal is to efficiently address the scale of this tragedy through streamlined project delivery, improved building codes, and permitting processes. This approach aims to ensure resilience in our rebuilding efforts.

The speaker, Raylene from Maui, shares some local updates. The government of Hawaii aims to rebuild and make Maui the first smart island, governed by AI. They plan to host the Hawaii Digital Government Summit in September 2023. There was a smart city conference in January 2023 to turn Maui into a smart city island. A high-rise condo complex and businesses in Lahaina were demolished and need to be rebuilt. Raylene and others are trying to find places to volunteer and help those in need. The War Memorial Shelter, now taken over by FEMA, is not distributing supplies to people in need. Donations, especially diapers, wipes, and formula, are being hoarded by Red Cross and FEMA. Raylene suggests shipping items from Amazon.

The head of Maui's emergency response division had disturbing text exchanges with his assistant during a fire crisis, showing a lack of concern for those affected. He only appeared publicly a week later, held one press conference, then resigned. The response to the fire showed failures in accountability. The government may have intentionally delayed aid to force people off the land. This strategy left residents with no options. They could only share stories about the land they once owned.

I'm grateful for the support we've received during this tragic time in Maui. We're facing challenges in getting insulin and prescription medication to those in need due to the Department of Health's approval process. Our government officials, from the local to federal level, have not provided any support and are actually making it harder for us to help our families and friends. We've been using jet skis and boats, but even that will soon be stopped. Despite these obstacles, we're determined to keep pushing forward and help everyone affected. Thank you to the Maui community for your support. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'll provide updates as we progress.
