He says 2000 rooms are needed and hes encouraging the community to open up their homes if possible to survivors. More than 1000 structures were destroyed across the island, and the governor says it will cost billions of dollars to restore what is lost. It is going to take many years to rebuild lahaina. When you see the full the full extent of the destruction of lahaina, it will shock you. It does appear like a bomb and fire went off. If i may. And all of those buildings virtually are going to have to be rebuilt. It will be a new lahaina. Right now, there is no water and no power on the west side of the island.

Do i have a motion . There is a motion. Okay. Commissioner there is a motion and second to
