Just a day after Maui County released 388 names of people unaccounted for in the deadly wildfire that broke out in early August, more than 100 of them or their relatives came forward to say they’re safe, the FBI said on Friday.

The FBI is reviewing the information they provided to see if they can confirm and remove the names from the 388 missing list.
