About 850 people are still missing and 114 are officially dead after the Maui wildfires, according to an update from County Mayor Richard Bissen. It is recalled that Joe Biden’s visit to Hawaii is scheduled for today.

The county mayor made the update in a video posted on Facebook, reminding the public that the death toll is expected to rise.

“It is my sad duty to report that 114 deaths have been confirmed,” the mayor said in a video posted on Facebook. “There are currently 850 names on the missing persons list.” “We are both saddened and relieved about these numbers,” Bissen said.

Bissen pointed out that the initial number of people who initially feared dead were over 2,000but subsided once cell phone communications were restored.

The FBI, which is assisting in the search efforts, combined various missing person lists to come up with the total number of people missing, the mayor added.

The mayor’s update comes as Biden is set to visit the devastated island after criticism that he delayed doing so. Biden will visit those who lost homes and loved ones during the disaster and be briefed by public officials. The White House said it continued to receive updates over the weekend after Biden issued a series of public statements about the disaster following the “no comment” statement for which he was criticized.

“The most important thing for the president to see is just the real impact. “It feels really different when you’re on the ground and you can see the total devastation of Lahaina,” Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Dina Criswell told CBS News.

“He’s going to talk to some of the families that have been affected by this and hear their stories.”

The fire that broke out on August 8 in the town of Lahaina is now classified as the deadliest in over a century and the fifth deadliest on record for the US.
