        @cate_long Not sure how you have drinkable water without electricity to pump it. Hope I'm wrong.

        bolt a couple of Navy's nuclear powered ships to a dock to port in power. Maybe that will help reattach transmission lines.

        And after about Day 1.5, you'll drink the unsafe water and hope for no dysentery, or malaria (mosquitos in whatever you're capturing it in).

        and how much of the 60% will have water tomorrow? next week? next month? How many have no food security? How many have no housing security?

        That 60% is portable water. Very different from turning your faucet on & getting water. That needs to be boiled before using. 0 electricity

        @cate_long Statistics & nuanced? Hard to tell if numbers only reflect availability in some urban areas, but almost non-existent in rural?

        Thats not true. The whole Island of PR gets 3 feet of rain a year. I survive on 9 inches of rain. This is a problem of lack of skill.

        And unrealistic expectations. Like living on an island and not expecting storms. Totally stupid.
