HONOLULU -- The White House announced on Tuesday that President George W. Bush declared Hawaii a major disaster exists in the State of Hawaii.

Bush ordered federal aid to help local recovery efforts. This makes more money available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The declaration also means that Hawaii National Guard helicopters and troops can be used with the federal government picking up 75 percent of the cost.

A $40 million-damage estimate for the island of Hawaii is just the beginning, according to officials.

County, state and federal authorities worked to determine just how much damage there is on the island.

Just as residents are recovering from Sunday's 6.7 magnitude quake, two earthquakes shook the islands, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

At 5:26 a.m., a 3.9 magnitude quake struck about 8 miles west of Kawaihae and about 8 miles deep. About 90 minutes later, a 3.6 magnitude quake rocked the state about 8 miles south-southwest from Waikoloa Village and nearly 10 miles deep, according to USGS.

Civil Defense officials said that the aftershocks did not generate a tsunami or major damage, but the damage toll from Sunday's quake continues to rise.

A house in Waipunalei on the Hamakua coast is a total loss, officials said. County officials condemned the home after half the lot fell 300 feet into the ocean, undermining the structure, according to the owner.

The home was in the process of being sold for $895,000. The owner, who does not have earthquake insurance, said he is walking away from the property and taking a $300,000 loss.

"We are in the initial phase of our damage assessment. We have a significant number of homes damaged, businesses damaged. The damage to the schools is a tremendous dollar figure, and the Kawaihae Deep Water Harbor -- there's some severe damage there," said Troy Kindred of Hawaii County Civil Defense.

Damage at Kawaihae Harbor includes cracks as long as 500 feet in piers and disconnected piers that may need complete rebuilding.

As for residential damage, officials said it will take time to get a tally of all the destruction.

"We had more than 100 calls yesterday alone on that, and calls have been coming in all day today. So, we want the residents to know if you have damage to your home, especially if you feel it's a safety concern, call us at Hawaii Civil Defense," Kindred said. (Find Earthquake Information)
