Original Note:
The $350 mil quoted was in military aid. Maui wildfires began Aug. 8 and President Biden mobilized the National Guard, Army, Navy and Coast Guard on Aug 9. The $700 per displaced household is a portion of the federal funding approved for Maui on Aug 10. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/08/17/us-military-is-providing-assistance-to-maui-during-fires-fact-check/70591612007/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/08/09/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-wildfires-in-hawaii/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/08/10/president-joseph-r-biden-jr-approves-hawaii-disaster-declaration-3/ https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3490306/dod-mobilizes-support-in-response-to-hawaii-wildfire/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/08/15/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administrations-response-to-the-maui-wildfires/ https://apnews.com/article/maui-wildfires-hawaii-fema-misinformation https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/fema-paid-4-million-maui-survivors-figure-expected-102376026
