Basically, no way in at the moment and no way to distribute whatever supplies you could get in. It’s the reason stashing three months of emergency supplies for a three-day emergency is a very good idea.

It’s irrelevant when the supplies are washed away.

“Basically, no way in at the moment and no way to distribute whatever supplies you could get in.”

Even if they get the airport open soon, the local roads must be in terrible shape - storm debris, downed power lines, washed out surfaces.

I know nothing about emergency distribution procedures - but I wonder if they’ll have to temporarily distribute supplies by airdrop or helicopter until they can get the roads open.

What a mess!
