The Maui wildfires are a mass casualty disaster. People are flying in to find their loved ones.

The list of the people still "not located" in the wake of the deadly Maui wildfires begins, in alphabetical order, with Fred Abad, Louise Abihai and Kristell Acacia. 

Nearly 800 names later, the final entry posted as of Monday afternoon on a Google spreadsheet created by Maui resident Ellie Erickson — which has become one of the island's most visited and most heartbreaking clearinghouses of information — is Richard Zubaty.

Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said in Instagram and Facebook updates posted overnight that, in addition to the 114 people confirmed dead as a result of the blazes, there are now 850 people unaccounted for.

It was the first official number of missing persons released by the authorities since the inferno that reduced a large swath of Maui to ashes erupted on Aug. 8. And the number emerged after the FBI combed through various databases and lists like Erickson's that are hurriedly being compiled by local relief groups and volunteers.

The wildfires that scorched Maui were the deadliest in modern U.S. history and sparked an exodus of tourists as many locals, fearful of losing their ancestral homes, tried to find shelter on their home island.

The inferno also prompted members of the Maui diaspora — like 27-year-old Sydnie Lynn Ouano-Faias, who left Maui when she was 10 and now lives in Washington state — to pack her bags and return home.
