Human trafficking? WTF are you talking about? It's a natural disaster. Of course there are missing people, many of whom are probably casualties, and many others probably just displaced or in temporary shelters. The $700 is a FEMA assistance program designed to provide for immediate critical needs not long-term survival. There are other types of assistance for things like temporary housing, home repair, business repair, etc.
FEMA has approved more than $5.6 million in assistance to nearly 2,000 households in Maui as of Friday. The agency is offering a one-time payment of $700 per household for needs like clothing, food, or transportation. It will also pay to put survivors up in hotels and motels and has paid out $1.6 million in rental assistance as of Friday.

There definitely seems to have been some mis-steps, but I think that's unfortunately pretty typical of any crisis. I don't think we have the full picture yet, but this appears to be nothing like the fiasco following Katrina. Here's some balanced criticism:

This is a common fear among MAGA. Child trafficking is everywhere.

Was on the beach two weeks ago and a older man was talking to two teens about their volleyball hitting technique. My MAGA friend felt strongly this man was grooming the teens and was a human trafficker. The man left after speaking to the teens for ~2 minutes.

It's a cult.

I would tire of such craziness and probably hang out with such a person less and less.

Wow. I guess I struck a nerve. I guess some of you keep children tied up in the basement. Visit prostitutes on a regular basis? Sorry but not sorry if I hurt your feelings. At least I know who you are. You queers won't be within 500' of my children.

We queers, huh? Seems to me that you're the one whose feelings were hurt. You got called out and now you're lashing out. Well, sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I think it's really unfair to accuse people of heinous acts like human trafficking without any evidence.
