They may have to do what they did after Galveston, burn the bodies.

BILOXI, Miss. - Joy Schovest swam for her life, fighting Hurricane Katrina's storm surge and its angry winds, brushing aside debris and floating cars to reach higher ground.
Behind her, some of her neighbors in the Quiet Water Beach apartments were dying, trapped in their crumbling two-story building as it was swept away with much of this Mississippi coast community Monday. The exact number of deaths in the building was still unclear, with estimates ranging from three to dozens; early reports said 30 died.
"We grabbed a lady and pulled her out the window and then we swam with the current," said Schovest, 55, breaking into tears. "It was terrifying. You should have seen the cars floating around us. We had to push them away when we were trying to swim."

At Galveston they first tried to bury the bodies at sea, but they washed back in and had to be burned on the beaches.
