As the wildfire emergency response continues in Hawaii, the White House says President Joe Biden remains in close contact with FEMA and the governor of Hawaii.
However, critics of the president’s response are frustrated, saying federal assistance is coming too slowly.
Biden and the first lady will visit Maui next Monday to meet with survivors and first responders. FEMA said the visit will “bring hope to the area.”
But it took days for the president just to comment on the fires that started over a week ago.
The death toll now totals more than 100, with over 1,000 people still missing.
Emergency crews said the wildfires have become the deadliest natural disaster in Hawaii’s history, causing billions of dollars in damage.
