31. Thanks for the rational response
The other thing they should and can do is to create a list of the missing. Then, like on 9-11 when they discover a person's remains or the person turns up in Alaska, their name is either removed from the list or switched to deceased. Then you would end of with a fairly accurate count that would include everyone who got swept out to sea and may never be recovered.

Also there are two distinct categories for cause of death from this disaster.

People who died during the hurricane itself, which would be an act of god. People who died afterward from neglect and/or flood which would fall under act of George. There is a good reason why they want to separate the two groups. Anyone in the second group is a needless death that can be directly attributed to the lack of action of the part of the WH and FEMA for the first week after the storm.
