I was just about to ask about air drops. Sperbonzo is right however that things take time, BUT the aircraft are nearby enough to do such drops. The problem is getting the supplies TO the military bases and that's off the wall because the same means to transport would come from the same lines that deliver goods and services to every other store and hospital etc.
This rescue situation isn't poorly planned, it's just poorly practiced. We do however probably may not have another day to go before many, many people die from heat and dehydration and god forbid cholera, typhoid, west nile. It should take the mosquitoes another 4 days to grow from the standing water and then it may escalate.
We're learning though and unfortunately we're learning after the horse has left the barn.
People are in the streets threatening reporters, screaming at cops, setting fire to buildings to get light and smoke to fend off the mosquitoes.
The mayor sent thousands of buses the news said prior to the storm but too many hard headed people refused.
Now look what happened.
