we are not going to go anywhere until that occurs, that happens. the president is going to continue to marshal a whole government effort, approach, as he has done from day one, with having dozens of federal agencies and departments on the ground helping local partners and state partners get the assistance, the federal assistance that these survivors need. this is incredibly important. this is something that the president takes very seriously. you ve heard from the fema administrator there s more than 600 personnel, staffers on the ground. they ve already provided $2.3 million of family assistance. and for those in maui, in hawaii, who are still looking to get that federal assistance, please go, call 800-621-fema. go to disasterassistance.gov. we are here to help, assist, to make sure they get everything
figure out who they are supposed to call for help. i also need all of your help. i need you to help us get the word out and encourage more people to apply for assistance. please help us spread the word to residents of maui and encourage them to register for assistance with fema through either the staff on the ground, through our website at disasterassistance.gov, or 800-621-3362. we also opened our first 1-800-621-3362. or 800-621-fema. we also opened our first disaster recovery center. what these facilities are, brick and mortar locations that have federal, state and non-profit partners that will all be co-located where people can registered for assistance and get additional support. and this is an important first step in their recovery process.
certainly. that s why fema and the entire federal government are working with the state to prioritize getting everyone impacted by this the assistance they need. to that end i would like to point out the phone numbers we have available to everybody who needs assistance. the fema assistance number is 1-800-621-3362. disasterassistance.gov, download the fema app or red cross at 1-800-733-6727. the governor says losses are in the billions. has fema been able to get a handle on the level of destruction and what it s going to take to recover from this? what s your message to those folks who don t even have clean water right now? even boiling water, officials say, won t make it safe. they ll use bottled water for everything. what is your message to those who think help isn t coming fast
that they are finding, some of them they re finding together, and they say that when they re collecting their bodies, a lot of them unfortunately are just so badly burned. we know that right now evacuation centers like the one behind me are doing everything they can. there are so many supplies that are pouring in, and fema s set up a website disasterassistance.gov for anyone that needs assistance or anyone on the ground, you can go to a fema member and start getting set up to get that assistance. we know more people are bringing in food today to try to feed the people. we know they re going to need about 9,000 gallons of 9,000 meals a day and hundreds of gallons of water. people are very frustrated. those who are trying to get to lahaina right now, it s only open for people who can prove that they live there. for those who are trying to get that extra assistance and supplies there, a lot of them having to wait back in that long
