As a matter of fact, Louisiana has a law against removing feeding tubes. The legislature didn't want to starve and dehydrate people there but it occurred anyway during a catastrophic storm because the Governor and the Mayor didn't have a plan. The feds assumed that the Governor had a plan. I don't think the Feds will be making assumptions about a state's ability or lack thereof to mobilize the next time there's a big one.
I don't think I laid any blame, I just pointed out the relative lack of choices these Doctors must have faced. If it did happen, I doubt we will hear much more about it.
