Whenever there is a major catastrophy, regardless of type or cause, resourses, emergency or otherwise, are temporarily overwhelmed. Over time, as the immediate crisis abates, organizations and other support agencies from other jurisdictions and areas will join in the effort and eventually some stability will be attained. The more remote the area afficted, the longer it will take. Unfortunately, as our everyday lives have accustomed us to immediate gratification, we have a tendency to overreact and focus of fixing the blame, rather than the problem at hand. Crisises are a test of our mettle, courage and compassion. More work and less talk is what is required of us.
