Kiara Alfonseca, ABC NewsWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has announced that $95 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be given to Hawaii to aid in Maui’s rebuilding efforts following the deadly, devastating wildfires.
On Aug. 8, several fires spread rapidly across the island due to dry conditions and high winds. Maui officials say downed power lines were likely behind the blazes. At least 115 people have been declared dead and thousands of structures have been destroyed. Biden said the money will go toward putting electrical wires underground where possible, using stronger poles to hold up electrical wires and clearing brush and potential kindling from around above-ground wires.
