 I'm Alyssa De La Garza with Cal OES. Following the devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Governor Gavin Newsom deployed Urban Search and Rescue personnel to assist in the coordination and support of emergency operations in the most impacted areas. Members of California's Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces traveled to Hawaii to aid local operations. In addition, Cal OES sent specially trained law and fire and rescue personnel, including Chief Larry Collins of the Cal OES Fire and Rescue Special Operations to provide technical expertise to emergency managers on the ground. We've been able to maximize the work of the teams. We've been able to improve the tracking and data collection of every single parcel from every team working. These highly specialized Urban Search and Rescue teams, along with human remains detection canines, conduct searches of damaged buildings for both survivors and victims. They're doing house to house, parcel by parcel, thorough search of every single property where homes burned, vehicles burned, and fire impacted. Similar to the operations that we conducted in the campfire aftermath as well as the north complex and some of the other tragic fires in California where we've had to do this. Unfortunately, California is all too familiar with wildfire response and recovery, and experts like Chief Collins are able to share lessons learned from past experiences. We've been working with all those officials to just hone it down to best practices and to give some helpful advice, give some shortcuts. It's all about neighbor helping neighbor and Cal OES is proud to assist the Aloha State in their time of need.
