TL;DR Summary

The search for victims of the deadly wildfires in Maui has shifted from land to the ocean, as officials do not expect the death toll to rise significantly. So far, 115 people have been declared dead, with 45 identified. The identification process has been complex, and authorities are urging relatives of missing individuals to submit DNA samples. The fires, which started on August 8, have become the deadliest natural disaster in Hawaii's history, displacing roughly 6,000 people. The cleanup process is expected to take several months to a year.
