Eruv doesn’t have anything to do with this situation. Why would you think it does? I was under the impression an eruv extends the area for house-based tasks outside the home. Why would I think so? Several towns near my area use them for the Orthodox and Hasidim.
Why do you ask?

An eruv is established for carrying that would otherwise be prohibited. House keys, strollers, wheel chairs. I haven’t seen anything in this story related to that.
Once there is a danger to life, no Sabbath rules apply anyway.
