there were eight transports off of maui to tertiary medical centers in honolulu and four of them weretical burns. those air teams and ground teams worked tirelessly, as i mentioned, and they did their work. they do what ems does. i'm very proud of that. while people were sleeping, they were working through the night. >> wow. true, true heroes. are rescue efforts still underway? >> rescue efforts are still underway. they're still looking for missing people. we fear that the death count could rise, so there are search and rescue teams that are still in the area. as far as american medical response on the ground, we're working with all the agencies, but we're doing a lot of triage at some of the shelters. people are needing their medications. people are needing dialysis and all those services are being -- the community has come together. >> i'm sure. >> with all the medical professionals on the island and even from outside that were part of that team. >> yep. >> and we're doing what we can do to assist and refer them to the care they need. >> in tragedies like this we see so much strengt

they were at the beach resort in honolulu discussing disaster responses instead of responding to thedisaster in west maui roads were barricaded so cars could not escape officials literally barricaded people into the flames. seniors in homes were left to fend for them selves grabbing their stuff and running where they could and these are just a few of the reasons we were so upset to see officials who were sent there to help staying at five-star resorts photos courtesy of the daily mail show officials and the small islands finest accommodations. today see an umbrella and that man's cocktail? i hope not maybe this is what they meant when they meant their rescue mission would be culturally responsive. >> we are working to ensure our outreach and messaging is culturally responsive and we can get messages out to people so they will know what is available. >> are all officials getting coconut oil massage out of respect for the missing hawaiian children? after our report fema responded and said they are moving out. fema sent us a statement saying this. females personnel including hundreds of

president, can you go to honolulu. you can get your photo op.to the governor, but i would encourage to you frankly stay away for a little while and let fema, who needs to be on the ground let them be on the ground doing their job right now. >> laura: so the possibility of going to meet with volunteers on their way or even, you know, national guard or beginning to airlift supplies in, that would be okay. but actually descending upon the ruins, which i'm not sure anyone was really expecting him to do, that would interrupt and interfere with the response. that's understood. that's understood. but i want get your reaction, though, to m. calais oman well, the deputy director for water resource management, michael. some say that he is responsible for a delay in releasing water to firefighters. here he is last year explaining his philosophy on water management. watch this. >> one, water is like taking it and looking at it from holistic perspective. we become used to looking at water as something which we use or something that we revere as that thing th

it is nearly 800 miles southwest of honolulu. but the problem is the counterclockwise circulation on the outer perimeter is combining with the clockwise rotation this system and so it is generating wind gusts 70 to 80 miles an hour. you can imagine how strong the wind would be closer. but that far away it is still generating 80 mile-per-hour wind. the white area is clouds but this is maui. this represents smoke where i am pointing down to lahaina. the wind is driving the fire there are dry conditions. you think of hawaii as being humid because it is tropical but much of maui is in severe drought right now. on the lower edge of the islands, the orange area is severe drought. kristen: i read about water restrictions for some of the islands and maui certainly impacted. but it seems like there was an element of surprise, even though they were in drought and they knew they would have some strong wind. spencer: many advisories we here have come after the fire developed. there are red flag warning's for high fire danger across a good po

gloria pasmino is in honolulu this morning. what are the latest? are we talking about recovery efforts now switching from rescue to recovery? >> reporter: well, it is absolutely devastate ing to hea those voices in that video. you can just feel the panic that people are feeling as they are fleeing for their lives. the images are absolutely devastating and the destruction just 80 miles to the west of here is finally coming in to focus. now let's start with the the latest, as you mentioned. crews that are equipped with cadaver dogs are in the process of searching many of the structures that have been destroyed. we know that a majority of the victims that have been found so far were found outside of many of these structures. officials have said that they have yet to search through every building that has been burned to the ground there. so we are expecting sadly that death toll to increase in the next several hours. now the fire has been contained by about 85%, but that does not mean that the danger is completely over. in fact, overnight, there was an

safety center. >> reporter: jake good morning from honolulu. i think that to a person you hear expressions of profound gratitude. everyone here is coming fresh off the flame from the epicenter of the disaster. we have been here since about midnight local town. i think that what has been so moving is when you see people come off these buses straight from the international airport and you see in their faces expressions of laurel, exhaustion, families who have witnessed so much from this disaster zone that they never thought within the realm of possibility. to that end you will hear who a man -- from a man who is coordinating this convention center into a makeshift shelter. also a woman who witnessed the devastation of the disaster zone. listen to what they told us. >> we talk a lot about aloha, right? the value. we talk about the value of malama to cherish . it's one thing to talk about it and it's another thing to live it out. >> it's devastating to see how much damage has been done. the entire hillside on one area where a lot of houses were wip
