these are people who have so little to begin with, and most of that is destroyed, and they are improvising ways to make do. They've done the same after each devastating hurricane. They do it because they have to, and they know they can't rely on anyone else showing up to do it with heavy equipment and power tools.

Frankly, many people would just give up. You have to admire their fortitude.
