What? Two 9-ounce bottles of water and MRE's? I thought you said:

"The survivors are surviving; they wouldn't be angry if they were dead.
Aside from drowning's, it is the ill and diseased that are dying; MREs
and bottled water won't help them, only evacuation offers hope."

Yes, the survivors are surviving, that's why they call them survivors
and no, they wouldn't be angry if they were dead. Both points taken!
The "Aside from drownings" in a flood, might distort the numbers,
don't you think? Or maybe you didn't think.
And finally, why do you suppose they're wasting bottled water and
MRE's when that won't help, "only evacuation offers hope."
To help you make sense of all this, tonights lesson will be, look up
rescue and then look up recovery.
