I agree the type of disaster will affect ppl in ways not thought of.
We once went without power for almost two weeks bc the light company
didn't know?
Anyway,...it was winter and we all camped out on pallets in the living room
and had a kerosene heater.
Food, clean clothing and baths were what we needed the most.
We still went to work and school. We thankfully had a gas stove and I was
able to cook, but when my dd's bf took me and the girls to his (parents)
house for a shower after a week his mother acted miffed and went to bed
while we also washed laundry.
Wipes for babies would have been a help, but someone else mentioned
prayers and of all the things I would want someone to do for me that
would be numero uno.
Give with a thankful heart, you never know when you will need help
