The final victim of the Hawaii wildfires has been identified as 70-year-old Lahaina resident Lydia Coloma.
Maui's economy relies on tourism, but some residents say that they haven't recovered enough from August's deadly wildfires.
A CBS News investigation found numerous examples across the U.S. where emergency officials failed to issue timely alerts to warn the public about safety threats — or never issued an alert at all.
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.
The Luau for Lahaina is hosted by the Polynesian Arts Advocacy Council of Michigan in partnership with the City of Novi.
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.
Deadly wildfires on Maui have left at least 101 dead and the historic town of Lahaina destroyed.
Residents say Hawaii's famous warning sirens never went off. The death toll has climbed steadily as the search continues.
