[extropy-chat] Getting AId to people in need

[Samantha Atkins]

What would be needed to purify some of the water the people have all  
too much of for drinking purposes?

What were all those scary powers given to FEMA for if they   
accomplish so very little in an actual emergency?

Who wouldn't loot at least food stores after days of exposure,  
hunger, thirst and appalling very dangerous conditions?  How is it  
more important to deal really harshly with looters than to end these  
deplorable conditions giving rise to these behaviors as quickly as  
possible?   I don't understand this.   In case of real emergency or  
disaster I now feel much less safe.
