"We felt it was necessary, after seven days, to begin to restore some psychological normalcy for people as they travel," Green said in a news briefing Wednesday, as he reiterated a plea that people only travel if necessary. Green said there is also a strong military presence in the area, but that reports of looting and violence being reported in social media are largely untrue.
The team includes coroners, pathologists, X-ray technicians and lab technicians. A disaster portable morgue unit landed in Hawaii on Tuesday with almost 20 tonnes of supplies and equipment including mortuary examination tables and laboratory equipment to support the collection of DNA in the identification of victims.
