HST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE PRESIDENT:\u00a0 Well, hello, people of Maui.\u00a0 You\u2019ve shown such absolute, incredible courage, and that\u2019s not hyperbole.\u00a0 I want you to know, on behalf of the United States of America and all the nation, the American people stand with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governor Josh Green, you\u2019ve been incredible.\u00a0 From the day we\u2019ve spoken on this, you\u2019ve been way ahead of the curve.\u00a0 Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke; Brian\u00a0<s>Schantz<\/s>\u00a0[Schatz], our senator; Senator Mazie Hir- \u2014 by the way, Mazie, I told my granddaughter, whose name is Maisy as well \u2014 she said, \u201cThat\u2019s why I like her.\u201d\u00a0 (Laughter.)\u00a0 Anyway.\u00a0 But her name is Maisy as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And \u2014 and Jill To- \u2014 Tokuda, Representative Ed Chase, and Mayor Rick\u00a0<s>Bassen<\/s>\u00a0[Bissen].\u00a0 Rick, when we talked on the phone, I never \u2014 you look like you played in defensive tackle for \u2014 I don\u2019t know who, but somebody good.\u00a0 But, anyway, I want to thank you for your leadership in this unimaginable \u2014 during this unimaginable travedy \u2014 tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To my left is the banyan tree beloved by this community for over 150 years here in the former capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii, that has stood for generations as a sacred spot of exceptional significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the people who took me under his wing when I first got to the Senate was Danny Inouye.\u00a0 He used to talk about \u2014 used to talk about the Kingdom of Hawaii.\u00a0 He was J- \u2014 came from Japan, but it was amazing to listen to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, it\u2019s burned, but it\u2019s still standing.\u00a0 The tree survived for a reason.\u00a0 I believe it\u2019s a powerful \u2014 a very powerful symbol of what we can and will do to get through this crisis.\u00a0 And for this \u2014 for as long as it takes, we\u2019re going to be with you \u2014 the whole country will be with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, we will be respectful of these sacred grounds and the traditions that rebuild the way the people of Maui want to build, not the way others want to build.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to rebuild the way the people of Maui want to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, you know, it\u2019s going to be hard.\u00a0 America\u2019s deadly wildfire \u2014 deadliest wildfire in over a century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Jill and I have what\u2019s left of \u2014 walked Front Street, what\u2019s left of it.\u00a0 We\u2019ve surveyed the damage from the air as well.\u00a0 The devastation is overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date, 114 dead.\u00a0 Hundreds of people are unaccounted for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember when I got the call \u2014 my first wife and daughter \u2014 I was a young senator, and I got a call in Washington.\u00a0 I hadn\u2019t been sworn in yet.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t old enough.\u00a0 And I was hiring staff in the Capitol in Teddy Kennedy\u2019s office.\u00a0 And I got a phone call saying \u2014 from my fire department, and a young first responder kind of panicked and said, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to come home.\u00a0 There\u2019s been an accident.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I said, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said, \u201cYour wife, she \u2014 she\u2019s dead.\u00a0 Come home.\u00a0 Come home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tractor-trailer had broadsided her and killed her in a car accident along with my little daughter.\u00a0 And \u2014 and I remember all the way down from Washington home wondering what a lot of people here are wondering: What about my two boys?\u00a0 How are they?\u00a0 They were in the car.\u00a0 I never got a read on that.\u00a0 Were they going to be all right or badly injured?\u00a0 Were they going to make it?\u00a0 Had they made it?\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until I walked into the emergency room, and I saw that they were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between knowing somebody is gone and worrying whether they\u2019re available to come back are two different things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, and I \u2014 I remember one of the people who helped me the most was Danny Inouye.\u00a0 He helped bring me back.\u00a0 So I know the feeling that \u2014 as many of the people in this town, this community, that hollow feeling you have in your chest like you\u2019re being sucked into a black hole, wondering, \u201cWill I ever \u2014 will I ever get by this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, it\u2019s one thing to know, but it\u2019s quite another thing to have to wait, to wonder whether your family members are going to be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine being a parent wondering where your child is \u2014 where he is.\u00a0 I remember, as I said.\u00a0 You know, press reports of grandfathers crying for lost neighbors while trying to be strong for the ones who survived.\u00a0 Of a woman distributing clothing to survivors who says she didn\u2019t lose her home, but she lost her hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I also want all of you to know the country grieves with you, stands with you, and we\u2019ll do everything possible to help you recover, rebuild, and respect culture and traditions when the rebuilding takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My administration has been in constant contact with the governor and congressional delegation and local leaders.\u00a0 As soon as I got the governor \u2014 governor\u2019s request, I signed the master \u2014 the major disaster declaration that mobilized the whole-of-government response, which means whatever you need, you\u2019re going to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the Coast Guard and Navy immediately supported maritime search and rescue operations, while the Army helped fire suppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what \u2014 here\u2019s what we\u2019ve been doing since.\u00a0 First, we focused on search and rescue, which is still going on.\u00a0 Right now, there are over 450 search and rescue experts working around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, I\u2019ve identified FEMA\u2019s Administrator\u00a0<s>Griswell<\/s>\u00a0[Criswell] to lean forward, as she always has done, to help survivors get immediate aid. \u00a0FEMA has quickly provided 5 \u2014 55,000 meals, 75,000 liters of water, 5,000 beds, 10,000 blankets. We\u2019re working to help remove the debris, repair roads, and restore power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, my Department of Homeland \u2014 of Housing and Urban Development is working with the state to make sure survivors can move from emergency shelters into temporary housing to finally have a permanent place to call home as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Small Business Administration is making low-interest federal disaster loans available to Hawaiian businesses \u2014 many of them you see here \u2014 burned to the ground; homeowners and renters; and nonprofits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need help, you can visit FEMA\u2019s disaster recovery center at Maui College or go to DisasterAssistance.gov \u2014 DisasterAssistance.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I\u2019m appointing Bob Fenton, who\u2019s here \u2014 where are you, Bob?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MR.
