Officials say visitor demand to the Valley Isle is very low and Lahaina fire survivors will continue to be housed in area hotels as needed.

The Hawaii governor also plans to distribute $1,200 to each adult affected by the Lahaina blaze.

It may seem insensitive to go after the Aug. 8 fires, but it's an imperative part of the recovery.

There has not been a centralized effort to account for how many of the remaining missing people were visitors to Maui.

Power outages left Maui visitors with little information on where they would be headed once they left the island.
