The expedition grade is 750 to 1000$ depending on where ya shop. The cost is due it's high output. The smaller 200$ pocket filters will fill up a 2 qt nalgene jug in a few minutes of pumping. The big filter will fill up jerry jug 6 gallon size in minutes with very clean water fom almost any source. I've used em all over the world.

The little PUR06 desalinator is a killer as ya pump seawater like crazy for a pint of water in a few minutes. Better than nothing I suppose. PUR for some reason "refuses" to sell the "military" handle with their pumps that assist the user and makes getting sea water desalinated easier.....doom on em ! I got a couple while I was active duty from the company yet when I tried to buy two more they refused because I wasn't active duty anymore...retired .

One more reason to develop skills vs relying on tools or gadgets. The gadgets are in my home , vehicle and backpack. The skill I keep handy all the time......:o)

What they should have for emergencies like this is a portable membrane plant. They can treat larger quanities of water faster and cheaper.

Oddly enough as of 2003 (the latest info I have here) there are no fixed membrane plants in LA or MS and it will be a while before they get the Conventional Plants back online.

But in this case at least they are producing some H2O.
