NEW YORK (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency says it has approved $3.8 million in assistance to roughly 1.640 households in Maui so far as the federal government tries to help survivors of the devastating wildfires. The White House and FEMA approved a one-time payment of $700 per household for needs like clothing, food, or transportation. The agency will also pay to put survivors up in hotels and motels and says it has paid out $1.6 million in rental assistance as of Friday. The amounts are expected to grow significantly.
