There is too much talking and debating. People are dying. If you can't get life saving supplies to the people and aid workers because of the road problems then parachute them in. In addition, military forces should also parachute in to protect the supplies that are being dropped in and insure public safety. They can also set up areas where equipment and supplies can be dropped along with areas where helicopters can land. Time is running out. It's to sit around and debate the virtue of this or that response. It is time to act, not debate. Currently, most of the life saving supplies are sitting at the airports. It is maddening to see journalists doing more to rescue people than professionals.

When it's a disaster, we should be concerned about the emergency medical supplies as these are necessary for people to be saved from death.

During time of disaster and calamity water, food and medical supplies are badly needed. It is the time when all government agencies especially the Department of Health are doing relief operation for all the victims. Medical supplies like mask, medicines, nebulizer etc. are being sent to the evacuation center to meet their medical needs. It is good to know that it is now easy to get all medical supplies because it’s already available online.
