Two weeks after wildfires destroyed Lahaina, Maui County has released a list of nearly 400 people who have been unaccounted for since the Aug. 8 disaster.

Authorities say the goal is to enlist the public’s help in identifying anyone still missing. As of late Thursday afternoon, an additional 1,732 individuals who had originally been reported as unaccounted for have since been found safe and well, a county news release says.

“We’re releasing today because we know that it will help with the investigation,” Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said in the release Thursday evening. “We also know that once those names come out, it can and will cause pain for folks whose loved ones are listed. This is not an easy thing to do, but we want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to make this investigation as complete and thorough as possible.”

The names, compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were deemed validated as long as it had the first and last names of the person who is unaccounted for, and a verified contact number for the person who reported the individual as missing.

If you recognize a name on the list and know the person to be safe, or if you have additional information about the person that may help locate them, the release says, contact the FBI at (808) 566-4300 or HN-COMMAND-POST@ic.fbi.gov as soon as possible.
