I read that the government believed its first commitment was to assist those who survived, to help them secure food, drink and shelter. Counting the dead had to wait.
Makes sense to me. And as someone wrote, there may never be an accurate count since a great number were swept out to sea.
With displacement, etc., how will authorities accurately count the number who perished in this apocalyptic natural disaster?

World Central Kitchen has been there since 2 days before the storm hit. Doing Good Stuff.

Our men and women of the US Coast Guard have been doing amazing work serving those who are in need.

Great reporting on our terrific Coast Guard involvement, @MorningLover. There's such a long road back for Bahamians from this storm devastation. Prayers for them, and all who are out there working and helping.

I've seen the chef a number of times in interviews. He and his staff have been so wonderful.
Good to see the humanitarian aid. Their task is mammouth.
Bless them all, the survivors and those who help.

My local morning radio show is having a 48 hour benefit fpr the Bahamas. 48 hours for the storm that stayed over the islands. Their goal was 100k. A few hours ago, they were at almost 120k. It ends at 10 am tomorrow.

Given the unfathomable devastation, the least we can do is give Temporary Protective Status (TPS) to Bahamians in the U.S. It is merely for six months and applies only to those who are here, not to those who might want to enter.
It's a common sense move that has been frequently used in times of disaster.
