The final victim of the Hawaii wildfires has been identified as 70-year-old Lahaina resident Lydia Coloma.
The revised number of people missing was a startling drop from the list released last week in which 385 people were still listed as missing.
Within a day of the list's release, more than 100 of those on the list or their relatives came forward to say they're safe, the FBI said Friday.
When asked Wednesday by reporters if he regretted not activating warning sirens when the wildfires broke out Aug. 8, Herman Andaya responded, "I do not."
A group of Michigan musicians is supposed to be on Maui right now, giving free music lessons and performances to the community. The devastating and deadly wildfires derailed those plans, but that isn't stopping them from giving back.
Residents say Hawaii's famous warning sirens never went off. The death toll has climbed steadily as the search continues.
At least 2,200 structures were estimated to have been damaged or destroyed in the wildfires, according to preliminary numbers.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Saturday that operations would focus on "the loss of life."
The organization says seven volunteers are heading to the state to help with disaster relief operations.
