Hawaii officials announced Thursday that the death toll from the wildfires has reached at least 55 people with many still missing. 

The wildfires, propelled by the winds of Hurricane Dora, have devastated the island of Maui and the historic town of Lahaina.

Amid the devastation, the state announced that its emergency management system, which is the world's largest integrated outdoor all-hazard public safety warning system, showed no indications of triggering warning sirens when the natural disaster began on Tuesday.

Instead, the county issued alerts through mobile phones, televisions and radio stations, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesperson Adam Weintraub told The Associated Press.

It is unclear if the alerts were issued prior to widespread power and cellular outages on Maui, but many of Lahaina's survivors have stated in interviews at evacuation centers that they never heard a siren and only realized they were in danger once they saw flames or heard explosions.

Maui Fire Department Chief Brad Ventura told the AP that the fire moved so quickly that it was impossible to relay messages to the agencies responsible for emergency alerts.

While the number of victims is expected to increase, the wildfire is already the state's deadliest natural disaster since a tsunami in 1960 killed 61 people on the Big Island. It is also the deadliest U.S. wildfire since California's Camp Fire in 2018, which killed 85 people and destroyed the town of Paradise.

"Lahaina, with a few rare exceptions, has been burned down," Gov. Josh Green said after walking the devastation Thursday morning with Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen. "Without a doubt, it feels like a bomb was dropped on Lahaina."
