1. Uprecedented yes...

but there have been unprecedented numbers of survivors this long out--particularly among the very young and very old, who would be least expected to survive as much as 10-11 days trapped in the warm temperatures.

I hope that we will take time to reassess our current recommendations for S&R duration, based on this episode.

2. Oh someobdy is right now rewriting the book

all disasters have a lessons learned.

The after action will have some interesting things

Though there is another detail... the number of teams. Mexico alone sent ten. Compare this to Mexico City quake where Mexico had none.
